Napa County's home prices, often starting at $1 million, can make homebuyers wary of affordability. The average price of a 1990s, 1,695-square-foot, average-condition home currently hovers just under $1 million—a seemingly surreal figure. Yet, Napa Valley offers an unparalleled lifestyle: ubiquitous red, white, blush, and bubbly wines; mild weather; excellent public schools; five-star restaurants at every turn; and breathtaking vistas of stone castles and rolling hillsides.
