Nestled at the foot of Mount Tamalpais, Mill Valley offers a picturesque mix of outdoor adventure and charming downtown streets. One of its most popular hiking trails is the former road that led people from the square up to the top of Tam by train. It’s family and pet friendly and is known as Old Railroad Grade. After a big morning hike, head into town for a meal at Playa Restaurant or Bungalow 44.
Homes in Mill Valley range from charming cottages in the “flats” of Sycamore Park to modern estates nestled up in the hills of the Country Club or Middle Ridge Neighborhoods. People love Mill Valley for its sense of tranquility and privacy coupled with a downtown square where people like to gather for coffee on weekends. Downtown also exudes a bohemian yet upscale vibe with boutique shops, art galleries and gourmet restaurants.
