The vibe
Marin geography without Marin's top-tier prices. Mediterranean climate, walkable downtown, Dominican University, easy 101 access.
Who loves it
Buyers who want Marin schools + climate + ferry access without paying Mill Valley or Tiburon prices.
What it isn't
Cheap. "$1M entry into Marin" still means $1M.

Insider note from Roger
Sun Valley + Terra Linda are the best schools-for-dollar in Marin. Loch Lomond + Dominican stretch have view homes Marin people don't talk about.
