Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
Key Words:
Canyon Trails, Secluded Feel, Walkable to Town
Southwest Larkspur is a serene, forested neighborhood tucked between the base of Mount Tamalpais and Larkspur’s historic downtown. With trails leading directly into Baltimore Canyon and access to parks like Madrone and Dolliver, it’s an ideal spot for those who prioritize nature and quiet surroundings while still being near local conveniences. The housing stock consists primarily of single-family homes on spacious lots, many surrounded by redwoods or perched along hillsides with filtered views. Streets are narrow and winding, with a secluded, almost rural feel, despite being just minutes from Magnolia Avenue’s shops and cafes. Getting around is easy, with close proximity to Highway 101 and the Larkspur Ferry for San Francisco commuters. The area offers a rare blend of privacy, charm, and walkability to town, making it one of Marin’s most desirable residential pockets.
