710 S Fitch Mountain Rd Healdsburg Multifamily Investment
Positioned in a high-cost ownership market, the asset benefits from a sizeable nearby renter base and steady household growth, according to WDSuite’s CRE market data. Neighborhood-level occupancy trends and rents should be underwritten conservatively, with demand supported by upper-income households within a 3-mile radius.
Healdsburg’s suburban setting combines small-town amenities with Sonoma County employment access. Neighborhood home values rank in the upper tier nationally, which typically sustains reliance on rental housing and supports pricing power for well-managed assets. Median contract rents in the neighborhood are also elevated compared with the nation, suggesting investors should calibrate rent positioning to balance revenue and retention.
Within a 3-mile radius, demographics show an upper-income profile and a renter-occupied share around two-fifths of housing units, pointing to a meaningful tenant base for a 41-unit community. Households have increased in recent years and are projected to expand further over the next five years, indicating a larger tenant pool that can support occupancy stability even if population growth remains flat.
The property’s 1986 vintage is newer than the neighborhood’s average construction year, which can offer a competitive edge versus older stock while still leaving room for targeted modernization to drive rent premiums and lower near-term capital risk relative to older assets.
Local amenity density is modest inside the immediate neighborhood (limited cafes, groceries, and pharmacies), while parks and restaurants are present at moderate levels. For operations, this points to marketing the asset’s livability and access to regional draws rather than walk-to convenience. At the metro level, the neighborhood ranks below the median for occupancy among 138 Santa Rosa–Petaluma neighborhoods, so leasing plans should emphasize renter demand from nearby households and commute convenience rather than expecting spillover from high-foot-traffic corridors.
Safety indicators for the neighborhood are around the metro middle among 138 Santa Rosa–Petaluma neighborhoods, and compare modestly above the national average (higher percentiles indicate safer conditions). Violent-offense measures sit near the national median, while property-offense rates have trended down over the past year, according to WDSuite’s CRE market data. As always, investors should focus on property-level security, lighting, and resident engagement to sustain leasing confidence.
Proximity to regional logistics employment supports renter demand and retention for workforce households, with commute times manageable to nearby corporate operations listed below.

This 41-unit, 1986-vintage community in Healdsburg is positioned in a high-cost ownership market with elevated neighborhood rents, reinforcing renter reliance on multifamily housing. Within 3 miles, household counts have grown and are projected to increase further, expanding the local tenant base and supporting occupancy stability. According to CRE market data from WDSuite, the neighborhood sits below the metro median for occupancy, so performance will hinge on disciplined leasing and positioning against older competitive stock.
The vintage is newer than the neighborhood average, offering relative competitiveness and value-add potential through targeted interior and systems upgrades. With upper-income households nearby and a renter concentration sufficient to support a mid-sized asset, underwriting can prioritize retention and measured rent growth while accounting for modest amenity density in the immediate area.
