A lavish residential haven nestled into the base of Mount Tamalpais
Founded during the Gold Rush era in the center of Marin County, Kentfield was named after one of its early settlers, congressman and philanthropist William Kent. Widely considered one of San Francisco’s most desirable suburbs, Kentfield offers its residents the economic opportunities of the city paired with the breathtaking beauty of Mount Tamalpais and the San Francisco Bay. Striking a unique balance between rustic and modern, the area’s architecture is known to exist in aesthetic harmony with the lush foliage of the region’s characteristic redwood, pine, and manzanita trees. Just a 30-minute drive or 40-minute ferry ride from San Francisco, Kentfield is an ideal place for nature lovers to settle down.
Because Kentfield is unincorporated, the town has retained enough independence to faithfully implement the desires of its residents. Generally speaking, said desires are centered around a common set of values: relaxation, convenience, and outdoor immersion. Families, retirees, and young professionals alike flock to Kentfield to enjoy the endless amenities associated with the nearby Baltimore Canyon Preserve, Phoenix Lake, Mount Tamalpais State Park, and more. Whether it is a long hike under the cool shade of the redwood trees or an exhilarating bike ride through the slopes of Mount Tamalpais, Kentfield is replete with opportunities for the whole family to stay active.
