San Rafael Real Estate & Homes for Sale in California

San Rafael, Marin County’s oldest city, is located halfway between San Francisco and California’s famous Wine Country. Located in the county’s eastern urban corridor, it is the governmental, business and cultural center of the area. This area offers a lively urban environment while retaining the ease and comfort of a small town life. Real estate options consist of single-family homes, condominiums and townhouses as well as land lots to custom build. In the past, when San Franciscans suffered maladies related to their windy and foggy summers, they would receive medical advice to escape and seek into the natural beauty and ideal climate found in this city's health resorts. Today, the ideal climate is one of the many perks of the approximately 56,000 residents, which has evolved into a local commercial hub. Local economy is fueled by a diverse mix of high-tech, entertainment, financial, service-oriented and industrial businesses. The area's many attractions include its namesake Mission Arcangel, the landmark Frank Lloyd Wright Civic Center, Victorian architecture, a lively downtown district and historic China Camp, among many others. Education and income levels are high. The City Schools serve more than 5,400 students at 11 schools. The public school system is progressive and more accurately reflects the CA mix of people than the rest of Marin. The Catholic Dominican University and Marin College are also located in this gorgeous city. If you’re looking to settle down within the cultural capital of the San Francisco Bay Area, this beautiful area is an ideal, affordable location.
