Downtown Santa Rosa

I was meeting my brother for breakfast at Arrigonis yesterday and thought I’d look at a few properties while I was waiting. This currently active listing in Santa Rosa is a very nice fixer opportunity. It’s in the heart of downtown, but just far enough away from the busiest streets that it’s got a peaceful feeling. It’s in the Cherry Historical District and is listed for just under $500K. From my point of view, this historical home downtown is a great opportunity to support the new urbanism, grab a property that will be the envy of your condo-dwelling friends, and take advantage of excellent appreciation over time. Sure, it’s going to take some work to maintain, but so would any other home, old or not.
