Corte Madera

Corte Madera has the perfect mix of rural and urban living, a lovely downtown area, and close proximity to the beautiful outdoors (and an easy commute to San Francisco). With a wonderful Mediterranean climate, Corte Madera is the nature lover’s paradise. Wildlife preserves like Corte Madera Ecological Reserve, Shorebird Marsh and the Ring Mountain Preserve are located just minutes from the wonderful shopping centers at the Village and the Town Center. The award-winning schools in the Larkspur-Corte Madera school district have many impressive programs to provide the students with nurturing learning environments. Students in the Corte Madera public schools feed into Redwood High School, an award-winning public high school with rigorous academics and high-performing sports teams. Corte Madera has become so popular among young families that recently the Cove School was built as another option for grades K-4.
