Big malls and a small downtown
Everyone knows Corte Madera for The Village at Corte Madera and Town Center Corte Madera, two malls that straddle Redwood Highway. "They're the biggest malls in the area," says Offord. Here, shoppers can eat, dine and enjoy the weather in these open-air shopping centers. The usual shopping mall suspects are here, from Lululemon to REI, along with fast casual restaurants like the Cheesecake Factory. Locals enjoy these stores as much as out-of-towners on a weekend shopping expedition, but year-round residents know that Corte Madera's downtown offers a slowed-down scene with independent restaurants like Michelin Bib Gourmand-rated Burmatown and a gazebo, called Piccolo Pavilion. This charming part of Corte Madera means locals can shop and eat without the crowds of the busy shopping malls. For groceries, residents can shop at Trader Joe’s off Redwood Highway.
