About Montecito
Heights
Montecito Heights, located between Montgomery Village and Spring Lake Park, is a residential and hillside Santa Rosa neighborhood with curving streets and a tree-lined feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Montgomery Drive and Farmers Lane corridor, where sidewalk cafes, local markets, and small-service storefronts set a steady daytime rhythm. Mid-century ranch homes and updated bungalows sit on sloped lots, with pockets of valley views. Spring Lake’s trails and waterline paths shape an outdoors-forward routine. The nearby Charles M. Schulz Museum adds a distinctly Santa Rosa cultural note. Local staples such as Willi’s Wine Bar and Russian River Brewing Company help define the area’s off-hours scene.
