Napa & Coombsville Real Estate
A real city at the mouth of the valley
The city of Napa holds about 77,800 people — more than every town in the upper valley combined — and it is the only part of the county with a functioning year-round urban economy. Downtown has been rebuilt over the last fifteen years around the Oxbow market, the riverfront and a serious restaurant scene. Immediately east, Coombsville wraps the city in a horseshoe of hills: a cool, fog-influenced Cabernet district established in 2011 that gives estate ground five minutes from a grocery store.
What the property looks like
Everything from bungalows in the Alta Heights and Fuller Park neighborhoods to Silverado golf-course homes to Coombsville estates on 5 to 40 acres with vineyard. This is where Napa County’s entry pricing and its estate pricing sit within a few miles of each other, which makes it the most practical part of the county to buy into.
