Living in Benicia
Benicia is a historic waterfront town on the Carquinez Strait in the southwest corner of Solano County. It served as California's state capital in 1853 and 1854, and today it's known for its walkable First Street, thriving arts community and small-town charm just across the bridge from the East Bay.
Why Buyers Love It
- Walkable downtown: First Street is lined with local shops, cafes and restaurants, ending at the waterfront.
- Waterfront living: Parks, a marina and Benicia State Recreation Area offer walking, biking and views of the strait.
- History and the arts: Benicia Capitol State Historic Park and the artist studios at the historic Arsenal give the town a creative, character-filled feel.
- Bay Area access: The Benicia-Martinez Bridge and Interstate 680 make it one of Solano County's easiest commutes to the East Bay.
