Healdsburg

Healdsburg may be one of Sonoma County’s best-known tourist attractions, but the city of 11,000 is also a fantastic place to call home.

With its strong agricultural roots, charming downtown, and world-class restaurants and wineries, Healdsburg attracts a range of home buyers eager to live in the Russian River city.

Favorite eateries include Madrona Manor restaurant, Zin Restaurant & Wine Bar, and Ravenous Café and Lounge, among numerous others.

Healdsburg offers an array of wine tasting rooms including Murphy-Goode, La Crema, and Kendall-Jackson. Those in the mood for a handcrafted lager or ale head to the Bear Republic Brewing Co.

Opportunities for recreation and entertainment abound in Healdsburg, and the city has a large number of parks, including 11-acre Badger Park, a skate park, and swim center. The Healdsburg Center for the Arts features more than 100 local art exhibits a year, and summer concerts delight music-lovers in the city plaza.

Healdsburg homes for sale vary in style, with many sporting a Victorian or bungalow look and offering vineyard views. The average price for homes sold in September 2013 was $585,000.

As in many parts of the Bay Area and U.S., the supply of homes for sale has been shrinking as demand rises. In September 2013, the months' supply of inventory (MSI), was 2.3 -- solidly tilted toward sellers.

Healdsburg attracts many types of buyers looking for everything from second homes to vineyard properties to primary residences.

Healdsburg was recently touted as the "best small town in the USA" and we agree. It has a small town feel, plenty of community involvement, tons of things to do and is right in the middle of the famed Dry Creek and Russian River AVA's...so wine is in abundance! There are many, many wonderful restaurants, the Russian River to canoe or swim in and lot's of places to hike or bike.

Healdsburg is very special place in the heart of Sonoma Wine Country. It is surrounded by the famous wine applations; Alexander Valley, Dry Creek and Russian River. The river runs through town and offers summer "fun".

Matheson is a beautiful street with some grand ole homes and in the spring when the cherry trees are in bloom it is breath taking. It is an easy walk to town where there are fabulous restaurants, shops; movies or live entertainment at the old Raven Theater. The town Plaza is a wonderful gathering place and offers many community events through out theyear. It is a friendly town with lots of community spirit.
