Healdsburg, Foss Creek Villas and friendly neighbors
After living for 22 years in Seattle and visiting Healdsburg my favorite Sonoma community, I decided to make the next step and buy a condo, sort of a wine country pied-de-terre, in Foss Creek Villas in charming Healdsburg.
It was one of the best decisions of my life. I work at home; so, I could live and work anywhere as long as there is a wireless connection to the Internet.
Last year I came for the Healdsburg Jazz Festival and enjoyed myself so much that I decided to buy a second home there.
Healdsburg has the best of the big city in a small town: six nights of live jazz (a passion of mine), 24 wine tasting rooms, 100 wineries in a ten-mile radius and an active community centered around a lovely central plaza. With 11,000 charming souls and no immediate plans to expand to 12,000 Healdsburg was ideal for me.
That is when I discovered Foss Creek Villas, really a Village of friendly souls four blocks from downtown and the wine and music scene. The attention to detail in these cozy nooks impressed me, the amenities (weekly wine tasting, a pool, and a growing village of fascinating neighbors) are excellent and the upkeep keeps the grounds with constantly blooming plantings.
The price is right and more economical than neighboring newer units without compromising on space and amenities. The privacy of this cozy corner of Healdsburg and convenient access to shopping and services is ideal.
I am proud to be a condo owner in Foss Creek Villas and invite you to join me before they are gobbled up. Once sold, opportunities to live in Healdsburg this well at this price will be limited.
