Top 10+ Reasons for Buying a Home in Sonoma Valley

I don't work for the Sonoma Valley Visitor's Bureau but I could. My family bought property in Sonoma Valley in 1943. There are four generations of us who call it "home" so I figure I'm a pretty good authority on what's to love about living here. How about a visual?

Nice pic, right? So with this image setting the scene, I'll share my list. I'm borrowing shamelessly from a late night talk show guy, when I say these are my "Top Ten" reasons to consider buying property in the Valley of the Moon:

1) Relaxed Lifestyle

2) Extraordinary Weather

3) Scenic Beauty

4) Recreational Activities

5) Great Food

6) Friendly Neighbors

7) Volunteer Opportunities

8) Active Local Art Scene

9) Close to Major Cities

10) Sustained Real Estate Values

I'll elaborate on each of these in future blogs, and add to the list because there are SO many more than ten reasons to buy a home in Sonoma Valley. Did I forget to mention the 300 or so wineries? Well...that's something for yet another blog.

Have a great day where ever you may be!
