Rohnert Park, CA

Was accepted to an MA program at Sonoma State.

Any thoughts about this area? What about off-campus housing here? Is it mostly residential?

 

Thanks!

I live in Marin County nearby, but have lived in Sonoma before.

Rohnert Park (we call it Rodent Park for fun) is a lot of lawns and golf courses, a Walmart, that sort of thing; very residential. Surrounded by beautiful rolling hills. It's real close to Santa Rosa (like 5 minutes) and it's only an hour to SF. Traffic during commute hours is no bueno on Hwy 101. Rent is Sonoma County is not as bad as Marin but it's probably not cheap either. Santa Rosa is a weird city in that it has a lot of the problems of a full sized city (drugs, gangs) but not the culture of a full sized city. The gangs are doing their own thing, they're not looking for you, so no problem there. However, the whole area is exceptional in terms of natural beauty so if you like hiking and biking it's awesome.

PM me or ask me more questions on here so others can benefit as well if you like.

Cheers,
