Lagunitas rewards everyday life with towering redwoods, ferny creeks, and a pace that invites you to exhale. Tucked in the San Geronimo Valley of Marin County, the community sits minutes from trailheads and swimming holes. Locals lace up for the Cross Marin Trail in Samuel P. Taylor State Park or wander the ancient groves at Roy’s Redwoods Open Space Preserve. Naturalists celebrate the return of coho salmon in Lagunitas Creek, part of the storied Mt. Tam watershed stewarded by Marin Water, while a coastal day trip to Point Reyes National Seashore is an easy, spectacular habit.
Community life is tight-knit and welcoming. The San Geronimo Valley Community Center anchors local arts, classes, fresh produce markets, and family events. Weekends bring cyclists and hikers, yet daily needs are convenient in nearby Fairfax and San Anselmo. For commuters and teens, Marin Transit Route 68 links the valley to hubs for shopping, schools, and regional bus connections. Evenings are for stargazing on a deck, listening to owls and the creek.
Education shines through the Lagunitas School District, known for small class sizes and distinctive programs like Montessori and Open Classroom, with high school pathways in the Tamalpais Union High School District. Homes range from classic woodland cabins to thoughtfully updated retreats tailored to indoor-outdoor living.
