The vibe
Boats, hills, restaurants, ferry to SF. Smaller market than Mill Valley but with personality, waterfront access, and views few Bay Area cities match.
Who loves it
Buyers prioritizing waterfront + view + walkability over school district.
What it isn't
A schools play. Sausalito proper has limited public-school options; many families opt private or commute to Mill Valley schools.

Insider note from Roger
Hillside homes above downtown trade by view-grade. New Town (below) is the entry-price play. Houseboats are a separate market entirely with their own marina rules.
