Larkspur is known for its historic downtown, established neighborhoods, and convenient access to San Francisco. Located just east of Highway 101, the town offers a combination of residential character and accessibility that makes it one of the most consistently in-demand areas in Marin County.

Downtown Larkspur centers around Magnolia Avenue, a well-known corridor of locally owned restaurants, cafés, and shops. The area has a preserved, small-town feel, with tree-lined streets and a walkable layout that supports everyday convenience.

Outdoor access is integrated into the town’s setting. Creekside paths and nearby trails provide options for walking and biking, while surrounding hills and open space connect to broader Marin County recreation areas.
Local favorites include Rustic Bakery, Equator Coffees, Emporio Rulli and Perry’s — all located along Magnolia Avenue and offering a mix of casual dining, coffee spots, and well-loved gathering places.

Commuting is a key advantage. The Larkspur Ferry Terminal offers regular service to San Francisco, providing an alternative to driving, while Highway 101 allows for direct access into the city and surrounding Marin communities. The SMART train provides an additional transit option, connecting Marin and Sonoma counties with stops including Novato, San Rafael, and Larkspur—where riders can easily access the Larkspur Ferry for service to San Francisco.The SMART Train also connects to the Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County Airport via a short shuttle from the Sonoma County Airport station, providing access to direct flights to destinations including Los Angeles, San Diego, Seattle, Portland, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and other West Coast cities.

Larkspur is served by the Larkspur-Corte Madera School District and Tamalpais Union High School District.

What Emily loves about Larkspur:

Spending time on Magnolia Avenue — the mix of restaurants, the Lark Theater, the state of the art new library, and the preserved small-town feel make it one of the most enjoyable places to spend time in Marin.
