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. Outdoor space is the highlight, with nearby hiking trails, picnic areas, and shoreline walks. Though it's a bit removed from central San Rafael, the peace and green space make it a standout for those looking to live near nature without straying too far from city amenities.
