Scott Valley - Alto, Mill Valley, CA
Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
Key Words:
Tranquil setting, Commuter-friendly, Close to nature
This neighborhood bridges natural tranquility and suburban convenience, nestled between Horse Hill Preserve and Highway 101. The Scott Valley side offers larger homes on quiet, tree-lined streets, with a peaceful, tucked-away feel. The Alto section includes more modest single-family homes, some multi-unit dwellings, and quick access to shopping and transit. Scott Valley Swim & Tennis Club is a local draw, and nearby Camino Alto Open Space Preserve adds an outdoorsy edge. Though not heavily walkable due to winding roads and limited sidewalks, you’re minutes from Whole Foods, local schools, and the freeway. It’s a great option for those seeking calm and space without giving up access to town.
