Around Napa

Napa, beyond the house.

The neighbourhoods, the daily rhythm and the drive to everywhere else — the part of a home search a listing sheet never covers.

The neighbourhoods

Where Napa actually breaks down, in the desk's own words.

Full neighbourhood file →

Alta Heights

East of the Napa River, with Coombsville Road and Third Street to the south and Clark and East Avenues to the north, as the city draws it.

Westwood

On the west side, between the western city limit, First Street, Highway 29 and Old Sonoma Road.

Browns Valley

Along Browns Valley Road, which the city says was among the first improved roads in western Napa, paid for in 1911 by the neighbors it served.

A day around here

Ordinary life in Napa, the way it actually runs — not a highlight reel.

Morning

Coffee at Winston's Cafe and Bakery, then whatever the day actually needs.

Afternoon

An hour at Fuller Park, between the errands that never show up on a listing sheet.

Evening

Dinner at Compline, then a short drive back to whichever neighbourhood you call home.
