Roseland, Santa Rosa — Area Guide & Where to Stay
Roseland is a Santa Rosa neighborhood that stayed an unincorporated enclave inside the city until annexation brought it in during 2017.
About Roseland
Where to stay in Roseland
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Roseland never built itself a hotel trade. It came into the City of Santa Rosa only in 2017, and the rooms a visitor to this part of California would book sit in Santa Rosa proper rather than inside the two and a half square kilometres of the former enclave. Beds here are private addresses.
Anyone here for a family visit or a fixed appointment in Roseland books in Santa Rosa and drives the last stretch.
About Roseland
What are the main landmarks in Roseland?
The register names none. Roseland reaches the record through an administrative story instead: an unincorporated island of ground that the City of Santa Rosa surrounded, counted apart from it, and finally absorbed. Housing covers the two and a half square kilometres.
Santa Rosa keeps the sights, and what marks Roseland is the old enclave boundary that 2017 erased.
What is the history of Roseland?
Annexation is the date that matters. Roseland spent its long life as an unincorporated enclave entirely surrounded by the City of Santa Rosa, counted apart at the 2010 census and governed from outside the city limits that ringed it on every side. That ended on November 1, 2017.
Santa Rosa took the enclave in, and Roseland has been ordinary city ground in California since.
Where is Roseland?
Roughly two and a half square kilometres of Santa Rosa make up Roseland, ground the city had surrounded on every side long before it took it in.
