Santa Rosa & Surrounding Areas

Santa Rosa is the largest city in California's Redwood Empire, Wine Country and the North Bay; the fifth most populous city in the San Francisco Bay Area after San Jose, San Francisco, Oakland, and Fremont.

It lies along the US Route 101 corridor, approximately 55 miles (89 km) north of San Francisco, via the Golden Gate Bridge.

Santa Rosa matches my search criteria:  

  • Affordable housing

  • Comparable weather

  • Good health care

  • Local transportation

  • Retirement living options

  • A thriving economy
