Sonoma Property Management, Handled by People Who Know Wine Country

Sonoma is the historic heart of California wine country, anchored by the landmark Sonoma Plaza and surrounded by vineyards and tasting rooms. Tourism, second homes and limited housing supply make it a premium rental market, where charm, condition and proximity to the Plaza command some of the highest rents in the North Bay.

Local knowledge matters in a premium market like Sonoma. Intempus pairs a local expert with in-house technology: an owner portal for real-time statements, online rent collection and a 24/7 maintenance line. Our fees are transparent and itemized, and careful tenant screening keeps our eviction rate under 1% on placed tenants. We help owners present wine-country homes to lease at their full value.

Living in Sonoma: Neighborhoods, Schools and Lifestyle

What makes Sonoma a place renters want to call home.

Sonoma neighborhoods radiate out from the historic Sonoma Plaza, the largest town square in California, with tree-lined residential streets and cottages within walking distance of shops and tasting rooms. The wider Sonoma Valley folds in nearby communities like Glen Ellen and Kenwood, giving renters a range of small-town, wine-country settings.

Families renting in the city are served by the Sonoma Valley Unified School District, which runs 11 schools including Sonoma Valley High School, the valley's only comprehensive high school. These Sonoma schools, paired with a close-knit community feel, make the area attractive to families looking for long-term rentals.

Things to do in Sonoma include the 8-acre Sonoma Plaza with its shops, restaurants, and weekly farmers market, and the Sonoma State Historic Park with Mission San Francisco Solano and the Sonoma Barracks. With more than 100 wineries in the valley, including California's oldest at Buena Vista, living in Sonoma surrounds renters with history, dining, and wine country charm.
