Moving to Tiburon, CA
Tiburon occupies its own peninsula on the bay with some of the most striking water views in the Bay Area, a small ferry-served downtown, and top-rated schools. People move here for privacy, views, and the Reed school district, in one of Marin's most exclusive and supply-constrained markets.
Who moves to Tiburon
Established families and executives, often arriving for a senior role and looking for the house that makes the move feel worth it. Tiburon clients usually know exactly what they want: water from the windows, quiet streets, and schools that justify the price.
Homes and rent in Tiburon
Predominantly single-family homes draped over the peninsula's ridges, many with panoramic views of the city, Angel Island, or Richardson Bay, plus a limited set of condos and townhomes near downtown and Strawberry. Rental inventory is scarce at any moment, and view properties price accordingly. Neighboring Belvedere, a separate tiny city on the same peninsula, sits at the very top of the market.
The commute from Tiburon
The Tiburon ferry runs straight to downtown San Francisco, and the drive via Tiburon Boulevard to 101 adds a few minutes over towns sitting on the freeway. Most residents accept a slightly longer door-to-door for the peninsula's seclusion.
Living in Tiburon
Polished and serene. Main Street's restaurants face the water and the city skyline, weekends mean sailing, paddle boards, and the bike path to Mill Valley, and evenings are quiet in a way that surprises people coming from the city. It's the most resort-like address in Marin.

Tiburon questions, answered
Does Tiburon have a ferry to San Francisco?
Yes. The Tiburon ferry runs from downtown Tiburon to the San Francisco Ferry Building, and a seasonal ferry serves Angel Island. For commuters it turns one of Marin's most secluded addresses into a surprisingly practical one.
What are the schools like in Tiburon?
The Reed Union School District serving Tiburon and Belvedere is among the highest-rated in California, and students continue to the well-regarded Tamalpais Union high schools. Schools are a primary driver of demand for the peninsula.
How hard is it to find a rental in Tiburon?
It's one of the tightest markets in Marin. The peninsula is mostly owner-occupied single-family homes, so rentals appear in ones and twos rather than in buildings. When a good one lists, it goes quickly, which makes advance vetting and scheduling essential.
