Property Tour

Neighborhood

Nestled in northern Marin County's rolling landscape, Novato has evolved from a Wine Country gateway into a vibrant destination. As the county's second-largest community, the area attracts residents with its Mediterranean climate, dynamic downtown, and relatively attainable housing prices within Marin.

The residential areas showcase diverse living options. Black Point features luxury estates, while Bel Marin Keys offers waterfront properties along scenic lagoons. The tree-lined streets of Alameda Del Prado and the equestrian estates of Indian Valley Road provide additional housing variety.

The Vintage Oaks Shopping Center serves as the primary retail hub. Downtown Grant Avenue, revitalized through beautification efforts, bustles with activity throughout the week. The area hosts regular community events including a weekly farmers market from spring until fall, outdoor film screenings, seasonal parades, and cultural festivals.

The transformation of Hamilton Field from a military base to a mixed-use development exemplifies Novato's evolution. Former aircraft hangars now house an innovative mix of biotechnology firms, digital companies, the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art, and dozens of artist studios. The presence of major institutions like Fireman's Fund Insurance and the Buck Institute, known for its aging research, strengthens the local economy while maintaining the community's diverse character.
