Downtown
Young Professionals/Families/Empty Nesters/Retirees
Downtown is centered around The Barlow Market District. This is a really fun 12-acre outdoor market featuring local food stands and first-class restaurants, craft breweries and distilleries, cafes and bakeries and tons of boutique shopping from local artisans. This is in fact ground zero for the commercial enterprises of the arts scene of Sebastopol. The rest of Downtown also has a decent supply of single family homes, apartments/condos so the city plays host to young professionals (often artists/service folk), families and empty nesters/retirees. Interestingly the downtown homes are sometimes the best value and the most expensive homes are more on the outskirts and in the hills.
