Cadillac Flats

If, when you think of Napa, you think of endless rows of grapevines, sculpted mountain peaks, and impossibly blue skies -- well, you're right. But there's more to Napa than being the largest city in Wine Country and a dazzling display of rolling hills and vineyards. Napa is situated about an hour north of San Francisco, an hour south of Sacramento, and an hour west of the Pacific Coast. It is home to roughly 78,000 residents, an impressive 802 acres of park space, and fantastic year-round weather.

The Oxbow Public Market, located near the Napa River, is the place you'll want to shop after moving to a Napa apartment. The market contains a variety of specialty shops for everything from artisan cheeses to unique gift items to seafood. You can also shop downtown, surrounded by period architecture, mountain views, and wide sidewalks.
