I have grown up in the city of Santa Rosa and I honestly believe it is a huge part of who I am today. It is very family friendly, the town as a whole is a strong community especially since we have faced many crisis’ that have made our community strong and whole. The atmosphere is very welcoming and diverse which is why I love my town so much. With it being very into the wine culture, there’s many activities that are suitable for adults. For kids and teenagers there are many schools throughout the town that give incredible circulars and amazing sports teams. With many schools it creates high competition between the local school which make sports game very fun! Overall my experience with Santa Rosa is incredible, I was so blessed to have been raised here and could see myself easing my family here as well.
A rare melting pot. Great neighborhoods, churches, careers, schools and diversity. Excellent towns that branch out too. Amazing skies and weather. Few too many homeless but areas are generally safe. Experienced a few too many wildfires too but a great starter place!
So many good resources for low-income folks. Not to mention the very affordable Community College which has a variety of vocational training/hobby courses. There is also the widely resourced Redwood Empire Food Bank which ensures that no one goes hungry! A plethora of parks/nature/farms. Not to mention a lovely variety of farmers markets! The only mild problem is our housing insecurities/inaffordability.
