Enjoy a high-quality, vacation-like living environment in this convenient location with easy access to both San Francisco and East Bay. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION Peacock Gap - it's one of the best-kept secrets of San Rafael and Marin County living. This is also a very quiet and well-kept area so you can come home to relax. Glenwood Elementary is within walking distance. The bay-front walking path is literally only a 5-minute walk from your front door where you can take a walk or go for a run while enjoying the tranquil bay view. Andy's Market is also just down the road by the waterfront, where you can take a coffee break or get some delicious food or craft beer and watch sports or enjoy the harbor views sitting outside. For other outdoor activities, why not go biking, hiking, or camping at nearby China Camp State Park. On the trails, once you get up to a certain point, you have breathtaking views of the bay and bridges. On a good day on top of the hills, you get to see all three: Richmond Bridge, Bay Bridge, and Golden Gate Bridge. The scenery and views will surely broaden your horizon. There is also McNear Beach and Peacock Gap Golf Course, which has one of the best bar and grill on a golf course with delicious foods and a seasonal menu to choose from. If you go towards the hills there is also the very nice Peacock Gap Park with its playground and tennis courts. Being situated right by the Bay, this area never gets extreme temperatures. The bay breeze cools it down in the summer months and the temperature doesn't fluctuate to extreme highs or lows during the day like some other in-land cities experience.

Only about 30-40 minute drive north to the wine countries (Sonoma or Napa). About a 40-minute drive to the famous and magnificent Mt. Tamalpais and can go further to Muir Woods to see redwoods, or down to the Stinson beach to enjoy the beach and ocean view. 15-20 minutes drive on a local road to go to the neighboring small towns such as San Anselmo, Fairfax or Ross where there are cute downtown areas for shops/restaurants, and state parks with hiking trails and lakes.
