Suburb Commuter Ferry Parks Nature Outdoors Schools Upscale

Tucked away between the Muir Woods and northern San Francisco Bay sits the quiet little city of Larkspur. Residents enjoy a small-town vibe with an upscale modern flair. San Francisco is only about thirty minutes away by car, and the Golden Gate Ferry service connects the two cities via Larkspur Landing as well. Larkspur’s few schools earn high marks, the local crime rate is low, and the restaurant scene rivals much larger cities. Outdoorsy types will love large public parks in town, as well as the nearby access to northern California’s massive coastal nature preserves.
