Neighborhood

Tiburon

Waterfront location and the sunny slopes of Tiburon make it a prime destination for those seeking a home in the Bay Area. For a town of less than 10,000 residents, Tiburon offers a variety of activities that belies its small size. The Tiburon International Film Festival Film brings in films from around the world, there's wine tasting at Windsor Vineyards tasting room, shopping in the elegant boutiques along Ark Row, a leafy block long enclave of tiny shops that were once floating arks, and great restaurants along Tiburon's Main Street.

For the nautically inclined, Tiburon's Corinthian Yacht Club is host to Friday Night Races on the bay. The sight of dozens of sails in formation as these boats vie for advantage is one of the hallmarks of bay area living. Ferries to San Francisco, as well as to Angel Island State Park with its trails and magnificent views of San Francisco, leave from the dock at Tiburon.

Tiburon's parks are strung out like pearls on a necklace along the waters edge. Blackie's Pasture, named after an old swaybacked horse that once lived here, is a popular jumping off spot for hikers, joggers, spandex clad bikers, Moms with strollers and dog walkers. On weekends, the parks fill up with soccer players of all ages.

Schools are served by the Reed Union School District. Reed Elementary School, which received a distinguished Great Schools Rating of 10 out of 10, along with Bel Aire, and Del Mar School were named to the California Business for Education Honor Roll.
