Tennessee Valley is a unique, secluded pocket of Mill Valley tucked between rolling coastal hills and expansive open space preserves. Defined by its natural surroundings, the neighborhood offers direct access to the Tennessee Valley Trail, one of Marin County’s most iconic coastal hikes, and serves as a gateway to the broader Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Homes here are dispersed and nestled into the hillsides, often on large lots that offer privacy and a peaceful, almost rural atmosphere. The streets are winding and quiet, and it’s not uncommon to see deer or wild turkeys passing through. Residents are drawn here for the lifestyle—quiet mornings, trail runs, and a true sense of retreat from city life while still being just a short drive from Mill Valley’s downtown and Highway 101. The neighborhood is anchored by Tamalpais Valley Elementary School and is minutes from Tam Junction's amenities like Equator Coffees and Hook Fish Co., making it more connected than it might seem at first glance. For those who value nature and tranquility, Tennessee Valley is hard to top.
