Known as the city where Charles Schulz brought Charlie Brown and Snoopy to life, Santa Rosa serves as the gateway to California's renowned Wine Country, positioned in the heart of Sonoma County just 55 miles north of San Francisco. As the largest city in the region, Santa Rosa combines historic charm with modern living, especially in areas like the Railroad Square Historic District, where 19th-century stone buildings house local shops and eateries. The city recovered impressively from the 2017 Tubbs Fire, with many neighborhoods rebuilt and refreshed, making it an excellent time to consider renting here.
Renters in Santa Rosa can choose from a variety of housing options, from upscale townhomes in the eastern Rincon Valley and Fountaingrove areas to preserved Victorian homes in the historic McDonald neighborhood near downtown.
