Marin County Real Estate

From Mount Tamalpais to Muir Woods, from Stinson Beach to Sausalito, Marin County offers an unparalleled combination of natural beauty and comfortable living. Located north of San Francisco, across the Golden Gate Bridge, Marin is a hilly area surrounded by water on three sides. It has a population of over 228,000 that is heavily concentrated along Highway 101. The county covers 606 square miles, a third of which is protected parkland.

Because of strict local regulations, housing in Marin is expensive. There is, however, a tremendous variety of homes, from downtown apartments to secluded homes in the forest. Some of the more exclusive areas offer mansions selling for well over a million dollars.

The schools in Marin are first-rate despite recent budget cutbacks. Those preferring private education can choose from a large number of private and parochial schools. You may see extensive information on California elementary and high school ranking on our site.

Marin residents also enjoy a wide array of outstanding recreational opportunities. In addition to the beautiful beaches and parks, there are a number of bike paths. The wonderful climate allows year-round outdoor activity. Though generally sunny and warm throughout the region, some of the coastal areas experience summer fog. We have spent considerable time to build a very substantial amount of Marin county community information on this site so you may fully appreciate the appeal of Marin County.

Marin County has a very low unemployment rate, and experts predict that expanding office space will continue to provide ample local employment. Many residents, however, make the short commute into San Francisco either via Highway 101 or the convenient ferry boats that leave regularly from Sausalito, Tiburon and Larkspur. The entire county is served by Golden Gate Transit buses.
