Kentfield

Some of the most beautiful properties in Marin can be found in Kentfield, a quiet community of spacious older homes sited on large, lushly landscaped parcels. 

Perhaps the nerve center of this residential community can be found in the Woodlands Market, a unique gourmet grocery store, bakery, wine bar, and café. For more than 20 years, Woodlands Market has been the place where residents can their fill of local gossip at the same time they fill their grocery cart. 

Public schools in Kentfield are some of the best in Marin. Bacich Elementary with one teacher for every twelve students, and Kent Middle School, with an API of 890, are in the top ten percent of schools in California. Kentfield is also home to Marin Catholic High School, the largest private school in Marin County, and the College of Marin, a two year community college with a strong community presence. College of Marin offers adult classes for the public, and a vibrant performing arts program of theater, vocal, and classical music. The frequent public performances provide neighborhood residents with access to the cultural arts not normally found in a town of 7,000.
