Tiburon

Tiburon is a small, family-friendly community known for its insane San Francisco Bay views and fantastic hillside mansions. This nautical town has a rich maritime history and a Mediterranean vibe. As a small peninsula, Tiburon is the ideal community for those seeking a secluded scene with large-scale luxury homes set back off hillside roads and a quaint Main St. perfect for summer evenings with the family. 

The lifestyle in Tiburon is as slow or as fast as you want it to be, catering to busy commuters who revel in the breezy 30-minute ferry ride to the city as much as telecommuting entrepreneurs and stay-at-home parents. Still, on summer evenings when downtown is pedestrian-only, neighbors relax and greet each other like old friends.

Locals enjoy catching a race at the Corinthian Yacht Club, watching the sailboats set out, and simply soaking up the sea air from any of Tiburon's family-friendly bayside parks along the waterfront.

Homes in Tiburon are gorgeous and vary in architectural style. Real estate is on the pricey side, even for expensive Marin. The exclusive vistas attract people, yet the great schools and the tight-knit community encourage locals to put down solid roots.
