Neighborhood

Situated just north of San Rafael along Highway 101 sits Civic Center, a quiet neighborhood surrounded by mountain views with a vibrant park at its center. This community offers residents plenty of amenities and attractions just a seven-minute drive away from the heart of San Rafael. Northgate shopping mall houses plenty of retail therapy options, while several restaurants – both chain and local – can be found along North San Pedro Road.

Lagoon Park is the area’s biggest draw. Residents love the green space for its walking trails and duck pond that make it easy to get out and enjoy the climate of the area. To the west lies a number of state parks and preserves, and San Francisco and the rest of the Bay Area is just a 30-minute drive south.
