Fairfax, California Real Estate, Land, History and General Information

Situated at the gateway to west Marin, along Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, Fairfax is an easy-going town before you go west to the San Geronimo Valley, Stinson Beach, Point Reyes, Marshall, and the other oceanside villages.

Before the Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1939, local railroads carried San Francisco visitors from Sausalito or Tiburon to Fairfax for picnics, dancing at the open-air dance hall, walks along the northern reaches of Mount Tamalpias, and the warm, fog-free summer days.

Fairfax still has the air of a place you can go to relax. Many homeowners move to Fairfax to enjoy the peacefulness and feeling of space and sun. There are still large recreational facilities: horse stables and riding, the Canyon Swim and Tennis Club, and the Meadow Club. The evenings are balmy in Fairfax and the residents take to the streets for sunset strolls.

The downtown area, close to Sir Frances Drake Blvd., is the shopping district, with informal restaurants, bars, an organic ice cream shop, and an organic supermarket. Fairfax is an unusual mix of counter-culture and mainstream prosperity.

The hills and canyons of Fairfax are reminiscent of Mill Valley, but without the foggy summer days. Houses are diverse, from 100 year-old cottages to beautiful contemporary homes.
