Ross Reviews & Questions

Neighborhood Review
Key Words: Estate Homes, Wooded Backdrop, Exclusive and Quiet

Ross is one of Marin County’s most prestigious and picturesque residential enclaves, known for its timeless architecture, grand estates, and deeply wooded backdrop. With wide, meandering roads and very little through traffic, the neighborhood feels more like a private retreat than a public town. Most homes are set well back from the road, with expansive gardens, mature trees, and a classic, understated elegance. Recreation and beauty go hand in hand here. Residents enjoy quick access to Phoenix Lake and the trails of Mount Tamalpais, plus the quiet charm of Natalie Coffin Greene Park. Despite its seclusion, Ross is still central enough to reach downtown San Anselmo or Kentfield in just a few minutes. Top-rated schools, historical charm, and the peacefulness of country living — all just a short drive from the city — make Ross feel like a world apart. It’s one of the most exclusive places to live in Marin, and it shows in both the housing stock and the environment.
