Sausalito is a waterfront community located just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, known for its panoramic views of the San Francisco skyline, marinas, and surrounding hills. Its unique setting combines a coastal environment with close proximity to the city, making it one of the most recognizable locations in Marin County.

The housing landscape includes a mix of hillside homes, waterfront properties, and distinctive residences positioned to take advantage of the views. Many homes are oriented toward the Bay, offering outlooks that extend across San Francisco, Angel Island, and the surrounding waterways.

The downtown area along Bridgeway serves as the center of activity, with restaurants, cafés, galleries, and local shops lining the waterfront. This area provides a walkable environment with direct access to the marina and ferry service.

Commuting is a key advantage. The Sausalito Ferry Terminal offers regular service to San Francisco, while nearby Highway 101 provides quick access across the Golden Gate Bridge and into the city.

Outdoor access is integrated throughout the area, with waterfront paths, nearby parks, and connections to Marin Headlands trails and open space.

Sausalito is served by the connections to Marin Headlands trails and open space.

Sausalito is also known for its iconic houseboat communities, offering a truly unique waterfront lifestyle. These floating homes, many located in areas such as Waldo Point Harbor, provide a blend of creativity, character, and direct connection to the bay — with ever-changing views of the water, surrounding hills, and Mount Tamalpais.

Local favorites throughout Sausalito include Bayside Café, Fred’s Coffee Shop, Poggio, Bar Bocce, and Joinery — each offering a mix of casual waterfront dining, well-loved local atmosphere, and gathering spaces that reflect the town’s relaxed, coastal charm.

Sausalito is served by the Sausalito Marin City School District and Tamalpais Union High School District.
