Dazzling Waterfront Location

With its sunny weather and central Marin County location, Greenbrae is a big draw to those who want close proximity to abundant open space and amenities of a major metropolitan area. With the presence of Larkspur Landing ferry terminal, and the short 20 miles to downtown San Francisco, Greenbrae is a convenient enclave for Marin County commuters. 

Greenbrae began as a model community, planned and developed by late builder Niels Schultz in the 1940s. Great care was taken to retain the original oak trees that graced its rolling hillsides. Many homes in the community offer lushly landscaped private yards and lovely views of San Francisco Bay, Corte Madera Creek, and Mount Tamalpais. Homes in Greenbrae’s flats are a short stroll to neighborhood parks, bike paths, and Bon Air Center. Greenbrae’s waterfront condos combine natural beauty with easy living.

Residents often stop by Bon Air Center for a morning cup of coffee at Peet’s or a fresh bagel before heading off to work. On a sunny afternoon, you’ll find dozens of shoppers lingering at Bon Air’s outdoor tables over a sandwich from one of the center’s many eateries along with a good book. Greenbrae’s Marin Health hospital adds the extra convenience of nearby physicians and medical facilities.

The 2,574-foot peak of Mount Tamalpais provides a dramatic backdrop for the community. The mountain’s redwood groves, oak woodlands, and open meadows host miles of trails for hikers of all abilities. A multiuse path ambles beside Corte Madera Creek, giving Greenbrae’s residents a welcome place to stretch their legs and observe wood ducks, egrets and loons.
