If developer Charles Wright's wife knew her plants, this picturesque Central Marin town would be called Lupine. Mrs. Wright, whose husband hoped to incorporate the town at the turn of the century, admired the fields of what she thought were larkspur plants blooming near her new home, and named the village Larkspur. Most of the town lies inland, but the part that fronts the water is home to the county's largest ferry terminal, as well as a huge metal sculpture of Sir Francis Drake. Daily regular express ferry trips to San Francisco makes living in Larkspur a quick commute to The City. Larkspur shares schools and a police department with Corte Madera togeather they make up the Twin Cities Service District. Neighboring towns of Kentfield and Greenbrae have their own school district, but share utilities and many public services with Larkspur.

San Rafael became Marin 's first city in 1874. San Rafael's roots can be traced to December 1817, when Franciscans founded Mission San Rafael Archangel at the foot of San Rafael Hill, the 20th of California's 21 missions. A replica of the mission stands at St. Raphaell's Church. More than 55,000 residents make thier home in the county seat, the commercial, cultural and governmental center of marin. Just 17 miles north of San Francisco and surrounded by wooded,grassy hillsides and teh bay, about one-third of the city's l7 square miles is open space. East of the Marin County Civic Center, Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural enigma, is China Camp State Park, a former shrimp fishing village that now offers recreational opportunities, as does the nearby McNear's Beach Park. Peacock Gap, among San Rafael's upscale neighborhoods, and area of gracious homes, many with views of San Rafael Bay, is among my favorite areas in marin to live. The heart of the city lies west of Highway 101, where scores of retail shops and restaurants line downtown streets, Building and revitalization plans will add new sparkle to the city over the next few years. In my opinion, San Rafael's "American Pie" downtown is just right! Not to big, not too small. There are about 25,000 housing units . Half are single family homes and half are townhomes, apartments, or condominiums.
Terra Linda just north of San Rafael, is within San Rafael City Limits. Terra Linda has an excellent school district! Most homes in Terra linda were built by Eichler or Alliance in early 1960's. for sale san rafael real estate san rafael homes for sale
