Kentfield Real Estate
Elegant Living in the Lush Hills of Central Marin
Kentfield real estate comprises an elegant community sandwiched between Larkspur and Ross. From the flatlands near the bay, Kentfield real estate climbs through rolling hills up the steeper slopes of Mt. Tamalpais. Kentfield homes, to the west of Magnolia and College Avenues, have sweeping views the Bay and Mt. Tamalpais.
Kent Woodlands is prized for elegant homes on large, level lots surrounded by manicured groves of mature trees.
Kentfield has the highest rainfall in the county, because Mt. Tamalpais wrings the water out of the clouds as they come in from the ocean. This gives Kentfield lush vegetation and rushing winter streams.
Kentfield homes share excellent schools with neighboring Greenbrae These fine schools benefit from the Kentfield Schools Foundation. The College of Marin has its main campus in Kentfield.
