Get to know Larkspur

Close enough to San Francisco but far enough to escape its fog, Larkspur is where commuters can transfer from train to ferry for a fashionable float into the city. Its iconic downtown district, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, brims with boutiques, cafes and restaurants, skirted by layers of leafy residential neighborhoods composed of graceful Queen Annes and Arts & Crafts stunners. Locals take great pride in preserving their community’s well-tended stock of period structures—The Lark Theater, designed in the Streamline Moderne style in 1936 was vehemently saved by area residents after its near demise. It’s easy to avoid hopping in your car here, and a bike trail through the old rail tunnel links San Rafael. There’s a number of parks and pet-friendly greenways to explore, plus big-box shopping close by when you need it.

Living in Marin County

Marin County represents the best of two amazing worlds. It has easy access to the global metropolis that is San Francisco yet is rich with the wonders of the natural in its parks, trails, and beaches. As an urban place, Marin is an assortment of small towns, each with its own distinct vibe. As a natural place (one, it should be noted, that’s noticeably sunnier than the city) it contains giant forests and miles upon miles of hiking and biking trails, and it’s close to the agricultural and vinicultural wonderlands of Napa and Sonoma. Those who want to live in Marin and work in the city enjoy what may be the world’s most beautiful commute options — either via the Golden Gate Bridge or by ferry (or even kayak) across the San Francisco Bay.
