Pueblo Apartments for Rent

Napa was founded in 1847, two years before California became a state and just in time for gold miners to head for the back country in search of that elusive yellow metal. The name comes from the Nappan, the Native Americans that populated the valley before the Europeans arrived. Today the city is the semi-unofficial capital of California’s wine country. The Pueblo neighborhood is west of the city center and the St Helena Highway, or Route 29.

Development west of the the highway began in the 1930s and some of these early bungalows remain. It is an eclectic mix of housing, with vintage properties on the same street as creations that went up in the 1990s. Most of the homes are of the single-family variety, but there are a few duplexes and apartments. Walking in this neighborhood is both pleasant and challenging. The streets are lined with mature trees and no two properties look alike. These same streets are curved with many dead ends, and aren’t laid out in any particular pattern, making it fairly easy to get turned around.

The most well known neighbor is on Pueblo’s northern edge, the Napa Valley Marriott Hotel & Spa. Across from the hotel is the Bel Aire Plaza mall, and a half block away are Northwood Shopping Center, Jefferson Square, and the Grape Yard Shopping Center. More shopping and dining opportunities are in the historic downtown core, as well as the departure point for the Napa Valley Wine Train. This company offers tours of the Napa Valley on vintage rail cars while serving gourmet food and local wines.

Puelbo Vista Elementary and West Park Elementary are in the Pueblo neighborhood. The secondary schools are in surrounding neighborhoods. Except for the Church of the Nazarene, places of worship are outside the neighborhood.
