Situated in the hills between Larkspur and Ross, at the base of Mt. Tamalpais, Kentfield, an unincorporated community, is an upscale town of many elegant homes and upper middle class residents. Affluent Kent Woodlands boasts stunning homes set back from the road, many on large lots with spectacular views. The town has no “downtown” to speak of and the Woodlands Market seems to be the center of activity. Located a mere 10 minutes from Highway 101 and only 25 minutes from San Francisco, the city is easily accessible.

Named for the Kent family who settled there in the late 1800s and became active in conservation causes, Kentfield has a temperate climate and receives more rain in the winter than most other Marin communities. This keeps the town lush and green year round.
