Cotati, CA

Cotati Station is one of the newest communities in Cotati, just a few blocks away from Sonoma State University. Aptly named for the its proximity to the future commuter train station, these townhomes are perfect for a busy family or SSU students who prefer to live off campus.

This 3 bedroom (plus huge bonus room!) townhome is currently available for rent for $2400.00 a month. With 1700 square feet of living space on three levels, this modern townhome affords privacy and comfort. Unlike most condos for rent in Cotati, this townhome also has a full size two-car garage.

Your trips to the laundromat will be over when you rent this unit. A Whirlpool washer and dryer are conveniently situated on the second level, near the kitchen and two of the bedrooms. The spacious master suite occupies the entire top level, you'll love it!

For more information, please call 415-717-3336

Yay! After years of waiting, Peet's Coffee will have their grand opening in Cotati on Monday, January 9th! Formerly Frank's Freeze on the corner of Old Red and Gravenstein highways, Peet's will open in a brand spanking new building.

Between Cotati's restrictions on fast food chains, and the push back on having yet another coffee shop, Peet's has been in the making for quite some time. Peet's is my favorite coffee, it will be nice not having to travel to Petaluma or Santa Rosa to patronize their stores.

Thank you, Cotati, for letting Peet's come to town.

Despite the real estate market having it’s ups & downs in 2011, it’s up to us Agents to pass along the truth of the upcoming 2012 year: Home values are improving and selling prices WILL increase - so stop pushing those low-ball offers. Here is an interesting fact sheet I came upon that gives a good view of the 2012 market prediction.

Last night, I decided I didn't want to cook so we went out for dinner. The restaurant I chose in downtown Cotati was packed and all tables were taken except one. The empty table near the front door was too big for the two of us, but we really didn't have a choice if we wanted a place to sit.

Soon after, a women who appeared to be in her early 30's arrived with two young children in tow. The woman had a discouraged look on her face when a waitress told her there would be at least a 15 minute wait. When the waitress walked past our table, I asked her to please invite them to join us. They took us up on our offer.

We had a wonderful conversation during dinner and the kids were very polite. They were from out of town (Shingle Springs) and were meeting family who lived in the area to go see Christmas lights. Carefully watching the time, the mom asked the waitress for their check and they were soon on their way.

A couple of minutes later, as we were finishing the last sips of beer, the waitress came over to clear their plates from the table. That is when she said "that lady paid for your meal". What? "That lady paid for your entire meal".

Wow ... we were stunned.

Thank you, kind stranger, and Merry Christmas.

Elegant Evening - December 10th, 2011 - 5:00PM to 8:00PM, Downtown Cotati

I'll be the first to admit, I'm not crazy about the name of this event. To me, elegant evening means I would have to dress up in high heels and pearls (and a bit more, of course, due to the time of year), but I'm more of a jeans and cowboy boots sort of person. Cotati is casual, VERY casual ... but the downtown merchants like to get all gussied up for this event.

So here is what to look forward to:

- Free horse and carriage rides (note to drivers, Old Red will not be your friend tonight)
- Appetizers and Beverages
- Contests
- Special discounts at participating merchants
- Holiday music and Carolers

If you like a small town atmosphere, you'll enjoy Cotati's Elegant Evening, the last of the FOUR DAYS OF FESTIVE FUN during this years holiday season.

FOUR DAYS OF FESTIVE FUN

Day 1 - Let's Light the Tree!
