The hills of Greenbrae

Residents returning home to Greenbrae/Larkspur Landing along Southern Heights Ridge can see the peaks of Mount Tamplais, which is about 20 miles to the southwest. "It's a hillside area, so you get some great views," says John Zeiter, a Realtor with Golden Gate Sotheby's. Zeiter says plenty of people living in Greenbrae/Larkspur work in San Francisco and come to the neighborhood to raise a family and utilize the school system. "Schools are a key factor in Greenbrae," Zeiter says. "The daily vibe is really oriented towards schools."

Green hilly homes

The rolling streets of Greenbrae/Larkspur Landing crest ridgelines and curve down steep hills. Niels Shultz designed the planned community in the 1940s. His main focus was to preserve the trees in this landscape. In fact, Greenbrae means "green hillside in Gaelic," and that linguistic legacy is visible among the trees and greenery throughout the neighborhood. 40's and 50's ranch-style homes sit high in the neighborhood, providing panoramic views of the Ross Valley. The steep streets soar to these hilltops, and Craftsmen and contemporary homes along the winding roads tend to go for between $1.4 and $2 million.

Mount Tam trails

Locals can spend warm afternoons lounging on San Quentin Beach or jogging around the field at Hal Brown Park. Residents know that California is hot, so sometimes, heading inside to a spot like Orangetheory Fitness is a popular way to exercise after work and beat the heat. Greenbrae/Larkspur is also a short drive to popular hiking spots around Mount Tampalais. "There aren't a ton of parks in that area, but people will take a 10-minute drive for an hourlong hike in nature," says Zeiter. "One of the things about Marin County is that back in the 60s, they rezoned the county, so the area to the west has state and federal parks. There's a lot of trees and natural beauty."
