Downtown San Rafael is the heart of the city. This historic district is laden with landmarks, including several spots that were included in some of George Lucas’ early films before creating the iconic Star Wars franchise. Similar to other city centers, Downtown San Rafael is trendy, lively, and eclectic. Enjoy everything from falafel to fusion cuisine at one of downtown’s restaurants, have drinks with friends at a wine bar, or curl up with a good novel at a coffee shop. Visit a gallery in the arts district, which is anchored by San Rafael City Plaza, a popular gathering place for concerts and a weekly farmers market. And of course, there are plenty of festivals and holiday celebrations held in the heart of the city as well.
Similar to many Bay Area neighborhoods, Downtown San Rafael rentals are typically more expensive with lofts and high-rise apartments available for rent, but there are more affordable options available as well.
