WELCOME HOME

Marin is home to swaths of land full of towering redwoods, grassy hills of farmland, and picturesque beaches, making it a feast for the eyes and balm for the soul. As home to six California state parks, it is chock full of hiking and biking trails, protected open spaces and discoverable wildlife, ranging from Mount Tamalpais and Muir Woods to Stinson Beach and the Point Reyes National Seashore. For those who are rejuvenated by nature and seek to enjoy the outdoors as much as possible, Marin is a treasure trove of things to discover. 

Marin County has some of the highest rated public schools in all of California, making it especially desirable to those families with school-age children who want a home with more space and close to award winning schools. It is also home to outstanding K-12 private schools and many preschools.

Extraordinarily Good Weather. 

Because much of Marin sits beyond the “fog belt,” the summers are warm, winters are mild, and fall and spring are just right. The temperate climate of Marin County just can’t be beat. 

Marin is home to a wide array of small cities and towns, each with its own distinct personality and offerings. Water aficionados may gravitate to Sausalito or Tiburon to find a home with a bay view. Mountain bikers and hikers might want to take a closer look at homes in San Anselmo or Fairfax. Those in love with redwood trees might prefer to search for a home in Larkspur or Mill Valley. Some who like more of a ‘city’ feel may choose to purchase a home in Novato, Corte Madera or San Rafael.

Many parts of Marin remain in their natural, undeveloped state and are home to dairies, livestock ranches and farmland, making it possible for its residents to acquire local produce, meat, seafood and more. There are active farmers markets almost every day of the week in Marin where residents can “buy local.” This is one of the reasons that Marin is one of the healthiest counties in California and why people like to buy homes in Marin.
