Hamilton Field is a unique community in south-east Novato, developed from the former Hamilton Air Force Base. From 1932 till 1974 this base was operated by the  U. S. Army Air Corps, Air Force, and the Coast Guard. At one time the base occupied 2,184 acres. The Hamilton site is bordered by Highway 101 on the west and the San Francisco Bay on the East.

Site of Former Hamilton Air Force Base Housing

Hamilton is comprised of nine neighborhoods, each a distinct planned housing development: Bayside, Hamilton Meadows, Hamilton Park, Southgate, Traditions, Inspirations, Sunny Cove, Newport, and The Landing. The first homes were available in 1999, and the latest neighborhood, The Landing, was constructed in 2012. Most of the properties are single-family homes, with a few town homes in the Traditions neighborhood. Much of the appeal of the Hamilton Field Novato community comes from the renovated Spanish-style buildings built in the early 1930’s. These serve as a community center, art center and gallery, Unity Church, Hamilton Field Museum, and much more. The proximity to the Bay provides temperate weather and wonderful light.

In addition to the homes and office buildings at Hamilton, there are 70 acres of parks and 50 acres for community facilities, including a library, gymnasium, recently renovated outdoor swimming pool, self-storage, baseball and soccer fields, basketball and tennis courts, open playing fields, a 15,000 sq. ft. skate park, and an outdoor amphitheater.

The former aircraft hangers bordering San Francisco Bay have been transformed into commercial spaces accommodating offices, high tech industries, a YMCA, and useful services, such as a dry cleaner.  At the North West corner of Hamilton Field, the new Hamilton Marketplace provides a supermarket, restaurants, a bank, and more.
