Corte Madera is a scenic town that sits just five miles south of San Rafael and is bordered to the east by the San Francisco Bay. There’s a little bit of everything to enjoy in Corte Madera: State parks and watersheds lie to the west, the beauty and nightlife of San Francisco to the south, Mendocino and the rest of Northern California to the north, and Oakland to the east. Like much of the Bay Area, Corte Madera has seen quite a lot of development in recent years. You’ll find modern, upscale apartments close to the water, and charming single-family homes in the Bay Area style scattered all around the town. Proximity to the Red, Green, and Blue BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) lines make commuting into San Rafael and San Francisco a breeze.
