Corte Madera

Corte Madera is located between Mount Tam and the San Francisco Bay in Marin County. The community's location provides the area with fantastic vistas of Mount Tam on one side and the marshlands of San Francisco Bay on the other. For a homeowner, Corte Madera is often valued for its good schools, parks, and urban amenities.

The community energy is vibrant in Corte Madera. Thanks to local civic groups, flower baskets hang on almost every lamppost in town, adding to the cheerful atmosphere. Community leaders coordinate the town's 4th of July parade, and the city also hosts MarinScapes: an annual art show that has raised more than 1 million dollars for Buckelew Programs, which helps fight mental illness. 

Little leaguers take full advantage of well-tended parks and ball fields here. Families have enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and delicious country cooking at Benissimo Restaurant & Bar since 1987. Another local favorite is Book Passage, an independent bookstore.
