Rely on Madeline Schaider's real estate expertise and 30 years living in Marin to find the perfect Corte Madera homes for you

Corte Madera is located in the heart of Marin County and stretches from bayside to the airy ridge-tops on Mount Tamalpais. Corte Madera in Spanish translates to "cut wood" and, like other towns in Marin, supplied redwood lumber to build San Francisco homes.

Madeline Schaider has lived in Marin County for over 30 years. She is a seasoned expert on buying and selling condos, townhomes and homes in the Corte Madera real estate market.

As you enter west Corte Madera, you'll find older, ranch-style homes--many on beautiful lagoons that are fed from Mount Tam and the Bay via the Corte Madera Creek. A little farther west is a neighborhood of California cottages, Victorian homes, and hillside homes with views of the Bay. The Old Town Square, where Madeline Schaider Real Estate is located, sits at the foot of Mt. Tamalpais. The square is built at the site of the former Corte Madera train stop. Climbing the slope of Mt. Tam on the west side of the square is Christmas Tree Hill with its narrow winding streets and diverse and interesting Corte Madera homoes with water views. At the top of the hill, trails lead hikers to the open expanse of Mt. Tam.

Bayside (east) Corte Madera enjoys protected marshlands, the Ring Mountain Nature Preserve, and proximity to the Tiburon peninsula. Madeline lives in East Corte Madera and has become the number-one real estate expert in this area.

Like most of Marin, bayside Corte Madera has a mixture of level land and hills. Bayside Corte Madera homoes on level land are older ranch-style, some with Bay frontage and wonderful views to the east and south. Dividing Corte Madera from Mill Valley and Tiburon is Ring Mountain with its protected Nature Preserve. On the edges of Ring Mountain are many curving, climbing streets with nautical names and often spectacular views of the Bay, the Easy Bay cities, and Mt. Tamalpais. Since bayside Corte Madera was "discovered" a few years ago, many Corte Madera homeowners have modernized and upgraded these older homes.

Meadowcreek Station and Madera del Presidio

Bayside boasts two new, modern housing developments built in the past fifteen years, Meadowcreek Station and Madera del Presidio. These provide a wide diversity of single-family homes and condos in a beautiful setting at the edge of Ring Mountain.
