Pointe Marin, Novato CA (Homes For Sale & Real Estate)

Pointe Marin is a newer housing development in very desirable Southern Novato. It is located to the west of HWY 101 at the Ignacio exit. Commute times to San Francisco vary, but you can expect a 40-50 minute commute (note that the HWY 101 widening project is set for completion in December 2008).

This neighborhood is quiet, with wide streets and lots of open space. Indeed, many of the homes in Pointe Marin back up to open space and all homes are in close proximity to endless trails, lots of parks, shopping, and transportation. It is also close to the prestigious Marin Country Club, Stonetree Golf Club, and the Indian Valley campus of the College of Marin.

Pointe Marin is one of Novato's finest neighborhoods. There are many families and retirees. Indeed, Novato and Pointe Marin have seen a large influx of former Southern Marin residents moving into newer homes (not just in Pointe Marin, but also Hamilton Field), which are easy to care for.

The other beneift for those downsizing and/or relocating from Southern Marin is the fact that, if eligible, you can transfer your tax base from your old home to your new home -- a huge benefit to those who are selling their $2 million homes and moving into something more modestly priced in Novato.

Indeed, now that Novato has the new Hamilton Marketplace, Traders Joe's, Whole Foods, Farmer's Market, and lots of new restaurants (including Boca on Ignacio Avenue), there is lots to like about Pointe Marin and Novato in general.

If you have any questions about Pointe Marin or if you would like a tour of its different areas (including its fantastic Hillside Park), please let me know.
