PERFECTION! The photos don't depict the attention to detail and design that each room has to offer. The layout is extremely open, yet incredibly functional. Your eyes can catch the view from most every room and the outdoor space is phenomenal. Do...

About California

Park

California Park, located between San Pablo Bay and the Marin Hills, is a residential and waterfront-adjacent San Quentin neighborhood with hillside streets and bay-view overlooks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Sir Francis Drake Blvd near the San Quentin Village area, where a small cluster of local services and commuter traffic sets the daily rhythm. Housing leans toward mid-century and late-20th-century California forms—stucco, low-slung rooflines, and terraced lots that follow the grade. Open-space edges and shoreline air shape an outdoors-forward routine, with trailheads and water views close by. The setting feels defined by geography: bay to one side, ridgelines to the other, and a short drive to Larkspur and San Rafael for dining and culture.
