Get to know Tiburon

It’s hard to imagine Tiburon’s tidy yacht harbor as a sprawling rail terminal, but that’s exactly what it was for generations. Today, the old Northwestern Pacific is a scenic bike trail, and the town that surrounds it has become a most sought-after suburb with a Mediterranean feel. The sunny downtown has every amenity, from unique boutiques to waterfront dining. Commuters have a variety of options here, including ferry service via the Blue and Gold fleet, Golden Gate Transit buses, or for those who prefer to drive, there’s a shortcut via Trestle Glen to shave a few minutes off the average trip. Outdoor enthusiasts will be right at home, and the pet-friendly Ring Mountain Preserve is a popular spot for trail runners, mountain bikers and geocachers alike.

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.
