Cotati

This town boasts an enviable schedule of events and festivals featuring music, parades, and even accordions

Welcome to Cotati

 

Urban sophistication set against stunning pastoral scenery 

 
Cotati knows a little something about alchemy. Here picturesque vistas mix with just the right amount of quirk to create the epitome of sunny small-town life. The community of Cotati has much to celebrate, and celebrate they do — this town boasts an enviable schedule of events and festivals featuring music, parades, and even accordions. A whisper of whimsy weaves throughout this unique place, and residents take care to maintain Cotati’s sense of serenity and peace. Building ordinances are in place to ensure future generations can partake in the majestic scenery of the rolling hills.
 
Properties in Cotati provide residents with an extensive portfolio of architectural beauty. Relaxed farmhouse styles exemplify the town’s relaxed atmosphere, while sprawling estates with serious acreage offer an oasis of rural scenery. You can even find modern ranch houses with rustic design qualities that pay homage to the area’s agricultural roots. 
 
Cotati’s history comes to life with historical landmarks, like the famous La Plaza Park, one of the town’s most beautiful green spaces, which, thanks to another delightful Cotati quirk, are always up for visitors. By happenstance or grand design, Cotati is situated in the perfect spot to benefit from a certain geographical wonder. There is a gap between the coastal mountains to the west of the town — fog travels through this gap and wafts into Cotati, keeping it cool in the summer to give park-going residents a reprieve from the summer sun. How’s that for symbiosis?

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping 

 
Cotati may be tranquil and quiet, but make no mistake — this town can hang with the best of foodie culture. The low-key Redwood Cafe is a local favorite. The wide windows allow sunlight to stream in, creating a lovely setting for lunch. Works from local artists keep diners company, and the menu features satisfying comfort cuisine. 

Hospitality and fresh ingredients reign supreme at Oliver’s Market, Cotati’s premium market for groceries. The authentic menu at Zaina’s Bellini Cafe is a coveted go-to for breakfast and lunch, and guests rave over the mimosas and Mediterranean flavors. Mai Vietnamese pampers guests with a cozy atmosphere and mouth-watering cuisine like pho and noodle bowls.
