My wife and I are considering moving to Sebastopol with our five year old daughter. I've lived in San Francisco for twenty years and looking for a more rural, less expensive place to settle down. We are both come from very creative backgrounds, with interests in Buddhism, arts, culture, and are planning to send our daughter to the Waldorf school in Santa Rosa (our daughter is in Waldorf school now). We are both in our forties.
Can anyone advise on what culture and daily life are like in Sebastopol? As well as other factors: safety, climate, lifestyle, good neighborhoods, other schools? We'd love to buy a place around $600k and I am good at fixing places up myself.
Many thanks.
