Skyhawk, Santa Rosa, CA

Skyhawk is one of the upscale hillside subdivisions at the far northeast edge of Santa Rosa, up where Rincon Valley meets the open hills near Highway 12. It is a planned community of well-kept homes that draws steady demand for its setting and its schools, with golf, trails, and the eastern open space all close at hand. On a clear evening the valley views from the higher streets are the whole point. The schools and the outdoors anchor it. This area feeds the well-regarded northeast schools, including Maria Carrillo High, and the trails of Trione-Annadel and the nearby courses give it a genuinely active, outdoorsy feel that families and weekend hikers both use. The honest part is the one the whole northeast shares, and Skyhawk learned it directly. After being spared in 2017, the neighborhood lost homes to the 2020 Glass Fire, with the damage concentrated on the upper streets. This is wildland-edge living, so wildfire risk, insurance, and evacuation planning are real parts of the decision. For buyers who want a hillside home with views, trails, and strong schools, Skyhawk delivers, with eyes open.
