About Cherry Street Historic District
Cherry Street Historic District centers on late-19th and early-20th-century homes near downtown Santa Rosa, roughly at 38.4403° N, 122.7131° W (Google Maps). The neighborhood grew with the railroad and early civic expansion, retaining narrow streets, mature trees, and mixed residential-professional use that supports walkable local businesses.
Nearby landmarks include Old Courthouse Square, Santa Rosa City Hall, Sonoma County Superior Court, Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital, SRJC (Santa Rosa Junior College), Julliard Park, Luther Burbank Home & Gardens, Hyatt Regency Sonoma Wine Country, and SMART Santa Rosa Downtown Station. Current Santa Rosa population is about 178,000; the district itself is small and primarily residential within the downtown census tracts.
Bavarian Performance services European brands—BMW, MINI, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche, Volvo—tailored for short-trip downtown driving and historic-district parking. We prioritize battery health for vehicles with limited mileage, brake and tire checks for brick and tree‑rooted streets, and quiet exhaust solutions suited to dense residential blocks.
Climate considerations: Sonoma’s wet winters and warm, dry summers mean we apply corrosion protection on undercarriages after storms, monitor coolant systems for summer heat, recommend all-season tires with good wet grip, and calibrate A/C and cabin filters for wildfire smoke events.
We comply with Santa Rosa and Bay Area Air Quality Management District rules on fluid disposal, refrigerant recovery, and noise. Nearby neighborhoods we serve include Railroad Square, Junior College Neighborhood, and West End—offering pre-purchase inspections for student commuters, alignment for SMART station users, and early-drop/late-pick options.
Eco-friendly practices include recycling motor oils, coolants, metals, and batteries; stocking low-ash oils and long-life filters; and offering remanufactured parts when appropriate, reducing waste and supporting Cherry Street’s preservation ethos.
