San Rafael: Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best neighborhoods in San Rafael?

San Rafael ranges from walkable Downtown and historic Gerstle Park to the bayfront Loch Lomond and Peacock Gap, the Dominican area around the university, and Terra Linda’s Eichlers over the hill. Each offers a distinct pace and price point.

Is San Rafael a good place to live?

As Marin’s county seat, San Rafael pairs a real downtown, parks like China Camp, and access to San Francisco via Highway 101, the SMART train, and the nearby Larkspur ferry. Many of our buyers value that mix of small-city life and open space.
