Sophisticated, outdoorsy, and deeply desirable. Mill Valley sits at the base of Mount Tamalpais and draws buyers who want proximity to nature without sacrificing great dining, culture, or design. Hike or bike the trails of Mount Tam, catch an outdoor concert or film at the Outdoor Art Club, browse the independent shops along Throckmorton Avenue, or linger over a long lunch in the sunny town square. It has a distinct creative energy and a strong sense of place that keeps people here for life.
