Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
Peacock Gap sits at the eastern edge of San Rafael, bordered by rolling hills, waterfront edges, and wide-open parklands. It’s one of the most serene pockets in the city, defined by its golf course views, quiet streets, and proximity to the Bay. Homes here are spacious and well-maintained, with a mix of ranch-style and custom builds, many backing up to the Peacock Gap Golf Club or near Riviera and McNears Beach Parks. This creates a setting that feels tucked away, almost resort-like, especially with the Bay lapping just a short walk away.
