Neighborhood Reviews & Questions

Neighborhood Review

Key Words:

Marina Living, Bayfront Paths, Hidden Gem

Loch Lomond is a tucked-away coastal neighborhood with a laid-back marina vibe and some of the most direct water access in San Rafael. Located along the eastern shoreline, the area blends new development with established hillside homes, all orbiting around the Loch Lomond Marina. The centerpiece is the beautifully redeveloped marina and boardwalk area, where you’ll find a small market, bayfront trails, and boat slips. Many of the homes offer views across the San Rafael Bay, and the quiet streets offer a slower, almost vacation-like rhythm. The newly built homes near the waterfront contrast with the older, tree-lined residential pockets up the hill, creating a diverse housing mix. While it's slightly off the beaten path in terms of downtown access, the waterfront serenity and outdoor access - including hiking in nearby parks and strolls along the shore - are standout features for those seeking a peaceful lifestyle.
