City of Rohnert Park

James T Henley has been my dentist for over 25 years. I have recieved excelent care from Jim. He has provided me with dental hygen, inplant, root cannals and crowns. He has see me for emergency weork as well. I feel that you could not find a better dentist.

National attention due to their deplorable school system and a video that went viral of a «hot head cop» Just google or you tube Rohnert Park and see.

Rohnert Park has everything going for it. The most central location in the county. The best shopping for day to day needs by far. Nicely landscaped medians. However, the housing stock is just horrible. There must be some city ordinance that gives tax breaks for cheap, masonite siding. I know most of the houses were built in an era of awful architecture, but even then they’re just so boxy and depressing. If you liked 1979, you’re going to love RP. You need a Xanax just looking at the houses in RP.
At least it’s better than west Santa Rosa. I think.

Rohnert Park was one of the first planned cities in the US. It has an easy to understand layout, with Commerce Ave running parallel to 101. Sonoma State U&the Graton Casino provide most of the business– other than that, it’s the usual gas stations&fast food places along 101. While it’s a university town, it lacks the character of a university town. Even the smaller towns of Cotati&Penngrove are more distinctive. SSU offers a variety of activities to the public, including their Green Music Center. Rohnert Park isn’t an eyesore (but the casino certainly is); it’s a typical Northern California stop along 101.

I am from this area (Santa Rosa) and I prefer RP over Rosa any day. The town is smaller and just seems more friendly then Rosa.
Yes, there are a lot of lights and stop signs and the cops are on you (so watch your speed)
The only one down fall for many is the smell… Yes, I said it the smell, that is because RP uses reclaimed water to keep their town GREEN. I say, «Kudos», that that though. So get over the smell and the stop signs and enjoy this wonderful little town.

I give rohnert park a solid «eh» the most annoying part of the entire city is driving. There are Sooo many stop signs and lights it’s ridiculous. Just to go from my house to my in laws there are 7 stop signs and 4 light. Making a total of 11 stop and goes. 11!!! Also horrible for running. Can’t go more than ¼ mike without having to stop at a major intersection which all creek paths do. Stop go stop go stop go. That’s living in rohnert park for you.

Rohnert park police are no help when it comes to noise complaints, we have lived in Rohnert park a couple years now, if you move here don’t try A section, it’s the ghetto, aside from seeing drug deals on the side walk and illegal mechanic shops being ran in driveways, people peel out and rev their engines on a daily basis and no one seems to care, very dangerous for children walking in the streets here, do not move to or near Alta ave that’s the worst, very disrespectful people there and scary. My friends just moved their and when I visit I can’t believe what goes on and the police do nothing.

Called because the water coming out of the tap smelled bad. The city water guy was very helpful and tested the water coming into our complex within a day of my call, even though it is almost certainly a problem from within my unit (like the water heater). RP tests their water weekly in 10 different spot I think, so for them to go out of their way to help me was pretty impressive. Second 5 star review I have given them since I moved to RP.

I’m only giving this town 4 stars because I LOVE SHOPPING! Really, there is nothing to do (besides the casino) rather than go shopping. I was there Memorial Day weekend and couldn’t find one event for the holiday.

Not dog friendly. Not really anything friendly at all. Lived here for a year and can’t wait to leave.

I have just moved in about a week ago and I find another grocery store within a couple blocks of me everyday! I won’t pretend to understand how a city of 40,000 can support so many stores that seem to populate every area of town, but I can’t say I don’t appreciate the options!
Other than that I haven’t had much experiences though I hope that changes soon!

20 year resident… moved here from Santa Rosa and never looked back. Lots of amenities… community centers, parks, Sonoma State University. The city was planned very well, unlike Santa Rosa, that didn’t plan for future growth and has several streets that change names several times along the length of them with no rhyme or reason. The only gripe I have is I wish there were more non-​chain restaurants.

Nice and quite city. Nothing like the bay where you always see on the news about something bad happening. Piece and quite here. I’ve been coming here to visit relatives since the mid 90’s. I wouldn’t like to live here but I like visiting.

I’ve been a homeowner in Rohnert Park for just over twenty-​one years. I felt to write a Unilocal review about my city to express my appreciation and satisfaction overall with the City of Rohnert Park.
Sonoma County itself is not the most sophisticated of the nine Bay Area counties nor is Rohnert Park a city with much history or charm. However Rohnert Park is a medium size town in terms of population (41,333) by Bay Area standards and has some very nice qualities.
When I moved here in 1991 I thought I was moving to the country with some distance from the metropolitan lifestyle of San Francisco. But immediately I saw Target, Walmart, Home Depot, Costco and every other chain store spring up in Rohnert Park just like any suburban city in the Bay Area.
RP is still in close proximity to all the Sonoma and Napa wineries and to the Pacific Ocean. Sonoma State University is in RP and now the new Green Music Center hosts some national class performances there. There are lots of organic farms and produce available here and RP is part of the «North Bay» slower pace. CalTrans has completed much of the US101 freeway expansion through Sonoma County and RP and hopefully will extend this three lane expansion through to Marin County in the next year or two.
RP has a new City Hall that is quite nice and despite any criticism about its cost, it is a beautiful City Hall and adds to creating a more upscale image for Rohnert Park.
I hope someday that a «downtown» is created so that it is possible to use the word «charming» and «Rohnert Park» in the same sentence. That is the only reason I did not give RP 5 stars, because there is no downtown or a city center place to go here.
But, I am here… and home is where the heart is. I Love Rohnert Park.
