• Larkspur   is best known and loved for its charming downtown, which consists of many popular restaurants and shops along a four block stretch of Magnolia Avenue.  Picco Restaurant's pizza was called the world's best by renown chef Mario Batalli.  Emporio Rulli, an authentic Italian patisserie started here in Larkspur, and now has four prime locations in San Francisco.  Other popular dining spots include Left Bank (country French) Tavern at Lark Creek (classic American, founded by chef Bradley Ogden) DJ Chinese (a favorite family take out spot) Ward Street Cafe, Yankee Pier (seafood) and King of the Roll Sushi.  Nearby in the shopping center featuring Lucky supermarket, Cafe Lucana features fresh casual Italian foods and has recieved excellent reviews.  Home in Larkspur vary greatly by neighborhood.

Kentfield is in an upper middle class to wealthy community. These beautiful homes are generally set well back from the streets. And the streets meander among pine, redwood and manzanita trees.

• Mill Valley
  Probably Marin's "hippest" town, although it takes hits for being quirky and a bit divided between the crunchy bohemians and the Hummer driving Yuppies.  But you gotta love its small happenin' city charm.  Nationally known musicians and comedians appear regularly at the town's funky theatre, music bars and cafes.  You will find a wide variety of real estate  from older established craftsman style homes in desirable Sycamore Park and Sunnyside neighborhoods, to the  great remodels in Homestead Valley, to the breathtaking redwood and glass contemporary masterpieces looking down upon it all.   The Horse Hill, or Alta neighborhood, is a favorite for it's weather and easy commute connections. A new Whole Foods is coming to this neighborhood, and the Mill Valley Community center is nearby.

• San Anselmo   People love the sense of community and the lively downtown loife in San Anselmo. Bigger than Larkspur, but with the same great small town spirit.  This town was recently brought together after the devastating New Year's floods in '05.  A great community spirit had prevailed, as shops and restaurants unified to create support for the devastated businesses.   San Anselmo homes run the gammut, but feature more the Craftsman style expanded and remodeled cottage-like homes.    You also will find some stately Victorians and craftsman style beauties.  We have sold several properties in San Anselmo recently.
