Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
Wright is a working, practical neighborhood on the southwest side of Santa Rosa, named for the South Wright Road area and spreading across the flatland between the Sebastopol Road corridor and Stony Point Road. It is one of the more affordable, down-to-earth parts of the city, an area of modest homes and a long agricultural history that has slowly filled in as Santa Rosa grew southwest. The appeal is value and access. Prices here run below the citywide norm, the Sebastopol Road and Stony Point corridors put everyday shopping close, and you have quick connections to Highway 12 and the 101 for getting across town or out toward the coast. The local Wright schools serve the area. The honest read is a southwest-side one. This is a practical neighborhood rather than a scenic or polished one, upkeep varies block to block, and the busy arterials like Stony Point carry real traffic and the noise that comes with them. For buyers who want an affordable foothold in Santa Rosa with easy errands and freeway access, and who care more about price and position than prestige, Wright is a straightforward, honest option.
