Marin County Neighborhoods -- Terra Linda and Marinwood, San Rafael At the northern portion of San Rafael, sit two neighborhoods worth a long look for both young families and those thinking of downsizing--Terra Linda and Marinwood.

There are still original owners who tell stories about how Joseph Eichler would tour the neighborhood offering opinions to homeowners regarding their landscaping, home maintenance decisions, and other musings. Meanwhile, there has been lots of turnover over the past few years as many long-time residents cashed out and a younger demographic began making its presence felt. Terra Linda and … (2 comments)

Sausalito, named by a Spanish explorer for the little willows, or saucelitos, growing along its shores, always has been a vibrant area.

After its incorporation in 1893, the town became a major ferry and railway center, and then a shipyard during World War II.

If developer Charles Wright's wife knew her plants, this picturesque Central Marin town would be called Lupine. Mrs. Wright, whose husband helped to incorporate the town at the turn of the century, admired the fields of what she thought were larkspur plants blooming near her new homestead, and named the village Larkspur. Most of the town lies inland, but the part that fronts the water is home to the county's largest ferry terminal, as well as a metal sculpture of Sir Francis Drake. Larkspur shares schools and a police department with Corte Madera and together they make up the Twin Cities. … (0 comments)
