Marin's Teeny Tiny Towns

Tiburon, CaliforniaWhile writing a recent post about the often confusing areas of Greenbrae, Kentfield and Larkspur, I realized that many people outside the area may not realize how small these tiny communities really are.

Here is the scoop on these teeny tiny towns in Marin County:

  • Belvedere - 2.42 square miles but 78% of that is water
  • Corte Madera - 4 square files
  • Fairfax- 2.1 square miles
  • Kentfield- 3 square miles
  • Mill Valley- 4.8 square miles
  • Larkspur -3.27 square miles
  • Ross- 1.6 square miles
  • San Rafael- 22.4 square miles (26% of it is water) - Marin's largest city and the county seat.
  • Sausalito - 2.2 square miles
  • Tiburon- 8.7 square miles

With a population just over 2000, it is no surprise that small little cities like Belvedere only have a handful of real estate home sales each month.

An afternoon in the city

Marin County and the Bay Area have had amazing weather the last few days. My sister and her family were in town over the weekend, so on Saturday, we all jumped on board the Larkspur ferry for a trip to San Francisco. The Saturday ferries run a little slower, so the trip was about an hour. We enjoyed the leisurely trip, taking in all of the beautiful sights on the San Francisco Bay.

We stopped and grabbed lunch at the Ferry Building- delicious burgers at Taylor's Refreshers. We then set out on our walk, probably about 8 blocks, to the Yerba Buena Skating and Bowling Center, a delightful place for families. The center is located next to Moscone Convention Center. If you have been to a convention in San Francisco, you probably were at Moscone. Yerba Buena has skating, bowling, a carousel, and the Zeum- an art and technology museum for kids. It also has a great outdoor park, perfect on a gorgeous sunny day like we had on Saturday.

San Francisco is such a beautiful city. I wanted to share the pictures of our outing on gorgeous, spring like day!
