Tiburon

Tiburon

Tiburon is an incorporated town in Marin County, California. It is located on the Tiburon Peninsula, which reaches south into the San Francisco Bay. The smaller city of Belvedere occupies the southwest part of the peninsula and is contiguous with Tiburon. iburon is bordered by Corte Madera to the north and Mill Valley to the west, but is otherwise mostly surrounded by the Bay. Besides Belvedere and Tiburon, much of the peninsula is unincorporated,[10] including portions of the north side and the communities of Strawberry and Paradise Cay. The city's name derives from the Spanish word tiburón, which means "shark". The name was first given to the peninsula on which the city is situated, and probably inspired by the prevalence of locally native leopard sharks in the surrounding waters. Tiburon was formerly the southern terminus of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad (subsequently the Northwestern Pacific Railroad), which transported freight for transfer to barges for shipping to cities around San Francisco Bay. It is now a commuter and tourist town, linked by fast ferry services to San Francisco and with a concentration of restaurants and clothes shops. It is the nearest mainland point to Angel Island and a regular ferry service connects to the island.

the lifestyle:


Upscale living amidst a picturesque bayside charm that brings neighbors together.

 

The lifestyle in Tiburon is as slow or as fast as you want it to be, catering to busy commuters who revel in the breezy 30-minute ferry ride to the city as much as telecommuting entrepreneurs and stay-at-home parents, but on summer evenings when downtown is pedestrian-only, neighbors relax and greet each other like old friends.

Unexpected appeal:


Tiburon is a nautical town at its heart, with maritime history, active marinas and bay views to prove it.

 

Catch a race from the Corinthian Yacht Club and watch the sailboats set out to paint the bay in windswept dots of white or simply soak up the sea air from any of Tiburon’s family-friendly bayside parks, which are strung out like pearls along the town’s waterfront.

The market:


Hillside mansions with small plots of land and stunning views are the norm on this tucked-away peninsula.

 

The homes in Tiburon are simply gorgeous and vary in architectural style, though with a median home value of $2.4 million, this oasis is on the pricey side, even for expensive Marin, with many properties reaching well above $10 million. But it’s the dramatic vistas residents are here for, and the great schools and tight-knit community are a bonus, encouraging locals to put down solid roots.
