The central Sonoma County town of Rohnert Park is the county's third largest city, bisected by Highway 101, just south of Santa Rosa. The town is in the middle of the 16-mile stretch that's become known as Telecom Valley.
This city of about 42,000 residents touts itself as one of the first planned communities in the United States. Each neighborhood boasts its own park and elementary school, tree-lined streets, walkways and bike paths, and pretty medium-sized houses.

For more outdoor fun, Crane Creek Regional Park provides 128 acres of rolling meadows, perfect for hiking, biking, horseback riding, and picnicking. Nearby Cloverdale River Park offers fishing in season and provides river access for kayakers and canoe enthusiasts. There's also a small beach area.
