I grew up in Ukiah and try to visit once a year as my parents still live there. I have fond memories of town and realize every time I’m there that I grew up in one of the most beautiful places. There are issues with homelessness, lack of single family homes that aren’t half a million dollars and some areas of town that need to be developed badly. There are things that make Ukiah great and think that it’s a wonderful town to live in, and there are some things that make you think it’s a bit trashy at times. Unfortunately all of the activities that I grew up with are no longer available to the youth of today. The bowling alley is now a Harbor Freight and the skating rink closed as the owners retired. The town is in need of new life for it to become the the town it once was again. I love Ukiah, I hope it continues to grow and flourish.
Ukiah is an interesting community, and it has become more noticeable since the pandemic. I love the small town, familiar feel since I grew up here and this is where my family is. However, substance abuse, homelessness, scarce resources for those in need, and mistrust in the police force has taken a toll on the community. It seems that the city is working towards some solutions, but it is slow moving. Otherwise, it is a calm little place that provides a good amount of surrounding nature if you like. There isn't much to do and shopping is limited. Parks are really the only place for children as we no longer have a skating rink, bowling alley, or KidZone. This town has a lot of work to do, but could be good to be at for some quiet compared to larger cities.
Small town vibes. There's a lot of nice people here and all your local grocery stores available. There's a Mexican restaurant, Chinese restaurant, Japanese restaurants, and two Starbucks. The main street was newly renovated. As a community, Ukiah has roughly twice the number of people (including Redwood Valley, Potter Valley, Calpella, and Talmage) as the census reports. During the business day, an average of 40,000 people work inside the city limits, or in the business and residential neighborhoods to the north and south.
