What it’s like to live in Smith Ranch
Natural beauty surrounds Smith Ranch, where this northeastern San Rafael neighborhood borders open space with hiking trails and spectacular Mount Tamalpais views. Rental options include townhomes and single-family homes in planned developments with amenities like pools and tennis courts. While the area offers excellent access to both Highway 101 connections and outdoor recreation, the premium Marin County location comes with correspondingly high rental rates despite the relatively modest construction. Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts seeking strategic positioning between San Francisco employment and Marin's natural wonders who can justify premium rates for location and scenery despite less architectural character than older Marin communities.
