Unexpected appeal:
A welcoming neighborly feel in an unexpected location.

In many bedroom communities, you won’t find much charm, but Larkspur is in a different category altogether, managing to maintain a historical downtown that’s remained relatively unchanged despite modern development in the area. Here, neighbors gather for movies in the park in the summer and for walks along vibrant Magnolia Avenue all year long.

The market:
Famous for its access to San Francisco, but beloved for its secluded residences, Larkspur is a lovely contradiction.

A quick ferry ride to the city makes this neighborhood appealing to those looking to make the commute, and there are plenty of housing options for everyone, including condos close to town and hillside properties hidden beneath the gentle shade of their arboreal neighbors. Median prices are high at $1.6 million, but not the highest in the area.
