Benicia, CA Real Estate

Benicia was the capitol of California from 1853-1854 and has a beautiful brick captiol building. The location was changed to Sacramento when the governor at the time owned property in Sacramento. With this change, Benicia was able to stay a small family community. The location is ideal..approx. 2 hours from the snow, Yosemite, Monterey/Carmel, 30 minutes from Napa, get to San Francisco by ferry, BART or drive. The bus to BART can take you to many of the bay area locations including the SFO. It is also located 1 hour from Sacramento. Learn to wind surf, sail or watch the ships go by. The weather is normally mild witha 7 knot prevailing NE breeze most of the time giving us fresh air. The school rank at the top, the fire and police have quick response. With one main street, it is busy with restaurants and small shops. Wonderful place to call home.
