Civic Center stands out as a visually iconic and culturally rich district in San Rafael. Anchored by Frank Lloyd Wright’s renowned Marin County Civic Center, this neighborhood merges architectural distinction with everyday convenience. The blue-domed Civic Center building itself is not only a government hub, but also a venue for local farmers markets, outdoor events, and the annual Marin County Fair, drawing visitors from throughout Marin County.
Residents enjoy scenic beauty at Lagoon Park, with its tranquil waters and tree-lined paths perfect for picnics, birdwatching, or jogging. The proximity to China Camp State Park means hiking and mountain biking trails are just minutes away. The Marin Center for the Performing Arts, set along the lagoon, hosts theater, concerts, and lectures, offering a lively local arts scene.
Civic Center is thoughtfully positioned for educational access as well, with San Rafael High School and Madrone High School both serving the neighborhood with comprehensive programs, while the Marin County Free Library nearby encourages lifelong learning.
Commuters find exceptional convenience with the SMART train, ensuring easy trips to Santa Rosa or Larkspur and links to the greater Bay Area.
