Rodeo
Regional Settings
The heart of this quaint waterfront village is its historic downtown. Built down to the waterfront, it once welcomed ferry boats from across the bay filled with residents who used the ferries for commuting. The ferries also served as transportation for recreation lovers who came to Rodeo for its world renowned striped bass fishing. Today, Rodeo residents are a vibrant mix of professionals, technicians, writers, artists and small business owners who love Rodeo for its central location and its friendly small-town atmosphere. Fishing is still a favorite pastime,along with hiking, wind surfing and baseball.

Housing is less expensive than in many Bay Area locales, and a great many styles are available to choose from.
