Glenwood sits along the scenic eastern edge of San Rafael, where hills, open space, and bay views intersect. It’s a tucked-away residential pocket that feels peaceful and removed, but still maintains strong connections to the rest of the city via Point San Pedro Road. The neighborhood is made up primarily of single-family homes on quiet, winding streets, many with views of the water or surrounding hills. Glenwood Elementary is a central feature of the community, and several parks and playgrounds dot the area, including Victor Jones Park and the expansive trails of nearby China Camp. While Glenwood doesn’t have its own commercial center, it’s a short drive to San Rafael’s shops and services. Residents also enjoy easy access to nature, with beaches, hiking trails, and picnic spots minutes from home. It’s a neighborhood where outdoor space and a sense of quiet take the lead.
