The vibe
Historic riverfront downtown, walkable, growing food-and-drink scene. Closest Sonoma County city to SF (40 min on a good day). Strong family-town feel.
Who loves it
Buyers who want small-town life + access to wine country + a 40-minute SF commute on a good day.
What it isn't
A short commute on a bad day. The 101 corridor backs up.

Insider note from Roger
East Side (newer construction) is the family play. West Side (Victorians) has the character. Both transact well; the 101 splits them more than the price.
