Cleaning homes in Cotati
The hexagon is not a gimmick, and it genuinely changes how you move around the middle of town. Streets meet at angles that are not right angles, La Plaza sits in the center, and the blocks radiating out of it are shaped in ways that make some driveways awkward and some house numbers hard to read from the road. Crews learn it quickly, but it is worth mentioning if your place is on one of the angled frontages.
Beyond the plaza the town is small, flat and unpretentious. Single-story houses on East Cotati Avenue and the streets off West Sierra Avenue, built mid-century for people working locally, with three bedrooms squeezed into eleven or twelve hundred square feet. There are apartments and duplexes too, rented largely by students from up the road, which puts a steady run of move-in and move-out cleans on our calendar each summer.
The housing stock in Cotati
Small is the operative word: 900 to 1,500 square feet, one story, three bedrooms and one or two bathrooms, on flat lots with a detached or tucked-under garage. Interiors are simple, with carpet in the bedrooms, vinyl or tile in the kitchen and bath, hollow-core doors and low ceilings. There are few HOAs and almost no stairs. Rentals make up a substantial share of the housing, so turnover work and deposit-standard cleans come up more often here than in most towns this size.
