Located about 50 miles north of San Francisco, Napa Valley harbors a fairy tale world away from the hustle and bustle of the City by the Bay. The area’s incredible vistas, gently rolling hills, and abundant wineries offer its residents a quiet setting for raising a family, empty-nesting, and everything in between. For those fearing they’ve left their hearts in San Francisco, Napa Valley is where they’ll find their hearts once again.

Homeowners seeking Napa real estate continue to have healthy competition at hand. Napa Valley homes are selling for a median price of $1,890,000 after just 38 days. That price is up from $1,223,500 last year, and the area continues to experience a healthy seller’s market.

One of the perks of living in Napa Valley is the abundance of local farmers' markets throughout Northern California. The local Oxbow Public Market is a 40,000 square-foot marketplace that delivers river views from its broad outdoor deck. The market offers farm-to-table food, wine, craft beers, artisanal cheese, and baked goods and works to support sustainability and local harvests from nearby farmers and growers.

The valley has a Napa Valley Wine Train that offers many varied tours and an onboard afternoon tea, and it’s about an hour from Bodega Bay. For those Napa real estate owners who need more hands-on pampering, here are the top spas to visit if you’re looking to re-energize.
