Best Decorated Halloween Houses in Novato

Halloween Houses in Novato MarinHalloween is less than a week away, and it's fun to see so many Novato homes decked out for the holiday. My kids love to be on the lookout for creepy displays. It all adds to a nice feeling of community here. We've seen lots of pumpkins, spooky spiders, clever headstones and bright inflatables.

There are a handful of Novato houses that you might consider "destination" Halloween houses. Meaning, if you and your kids are in town, it may be worth a drive this week to check them out.

I'm highlighting a few houses that I've seen - I'm sure there are more! Novato is a very spread-out place. Know of another? Add it to the comments below.

 

Eerie Cemetery

This house at the corner of Cambridge Street and Sunset Parkway (94947) goes all-out. Below the cobwebs and flying ghosts is a graveyard with zombies and skeletons about to wreak havoc on Halloween.

It's the Famous Devonshire Christmas House, but at Halloween

Everyone knows the Devonshire Christmas House, which is beyond decked-out at Christmas. But the family has an elaborate Halloween display in October. The house is on Devonshire Drive in Novato (94947). These photos don't do it justice!

Skeleton Lemonade Stand - and so much more!

This yard full of skeleton vignettes is full of creativity. And the devil is in the details here! You can see for yourself on Gertrude Lane near Sutro Avenue (94947).

In general, in Pointe Marin (Laurelwood Drive 94949 in Ignacio) and in Hamilton (94949), you can find many houses with nice decorations. These Novato neighborhoods are terrific for trick-or-treating too, not just because of the decorations, but because there are sidewalks and the streets are flat.

The photos below are from the South Gate neighborhood in Hamilton.

It seems to me that Halloween is starting to rival Christmas for creativity and yard displays.  How fun.

Lots of fun to decorate, when kids still in the house...thanks for the photos (loved the sun and the palm trees).

"A Grave Occasion". 663 Cherry Street in Novato! Atherton exit, right on Atherton, right on Chase, slight left onto Cherry Street. Animatronic ghosts and ghouls galore!

Looks nice. I noticed this year my hood had much less Halloween decorated houses.

From coast to coast Halloween is a big money maker for manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and shippers. And of course, kids and grownups have a great time. Everyone wins!

Hi Kevin

I'm rather late to the Halloween Travelogue Gayle shared and just found my way here. Those are great photos! It's pretty impressive what some people do!
