The Napa Valley

The Napa Valley

This city of 138,000 has grown in stature from a sleepy, industrial town to a sophisticated mecca for wine growing, gourmet dining and a leisure-oriented lifestyle. Close proximity to the SF Bay Area (less than one hour away), overall safety, and the slower, relaxed pace of life have made Napa a wonderful weekend retreat destination, and, better yet, the perfect place to call home. The downtown arts scene is anchored by the Napa Valley Opera House and the beautifully refurbished Uptown Theatre, an excellent, and easily accessible venue in which to enjoy top-notch musical acts. There’s riverfront dining, high-end shopping, wine tasting rooms, and galleries galore. But whether your pleasures focus on the grape, the plate, or simply enjoying sunny days surrounded by scenic vistas, the homes here will impress.
