Why We Love Cloverdale

Why We Love Cloverdale

Just 15 miles north of Healdsburg, sits Cloverdale - a haven for boating, fishing, cycling, wineries, natural beauty, and even skydiving! This charming town of around 8,700 residents is centrally located for outdoor lovers and families alike. At the northernmost point of Sonoma County, this idyllic city is community-oriented, safe, family-friendly and down-to-earth; a bit more small-town America than some of its wine country neighbors. Surrounded by rolling hills, vineyards and farms, Cloverdale has a distinct “Italy in California” feel, further enhanced by its drier Mediterranean climate, which makes it an exceptional place to get out and play.  

If you are looking for a community to relax, raise a family, and recharge, this is the perfect warm-hearted, friendly, easy going and beautiful place to call home.) We love Cloverdale for the annual Citrus Fair, summer Friday nights downtown, restaurants, and affordable real estate. As recently as December 2022, the median home sales price in Cloverdale was $617,000, compared to the $780,000 median sales price of Sonoma County, and $1,050,000 median sales price in Healdsburg. 

The Marquis + Farwell team has put together a collection of places in Cloverdale we love to visit the most.
