Most of Mill Valley lies west of Highway 101, between the highway and Mount Tamalpais. This is the original village, built in the valleys and on the hillsides that cascade down from Mount Tamalpais.
Mill Valley has always attracted Marin home buyers. Unique homes and easy proximity to San Francisco have kept real estate values high.
Situated at the foot of Mt. Tamalpais, the town abounds in charm with boutique shops, fun and exciting community events and entertainment, and excellent restaurants. Some 14,000 residents live in 5,600 homes. East of the highway, Mill Valley shares the Strawberry Peninsula on Richardson Bay with Tiburon. West and above Mill Valley, Panoramic Highway travels through extensive parklands and a unique rural neighborhood before it drops to the Pacific coast.
Mill Valley real estate comprises a great variety of neighborhoods that carry their own unique micro-climates, views, and terrain. Ridges with views of the Bay and San Francisco. Forested canyons with seasonal streams. Level streets within walking distance of the town square. A forested ridge west of town, higher on Mount Tamalpais. Strawberry Peninsula surrounded by Richardson Bay.
“The first time I wandered off the freeway and discovered Mill Valley, I thought I was in a Bavarian village set in a Redwood grove.”
