Hilly neighborhood north of San Francisco
Sycamore Park, just east of Mill Valley, fans out to the southeast and wraps around Pickleweed Inlet, a finger of Richardson Bay. A robust park system, plenty of shopping and dining options and easy access to San Francisco make Sycamore Park a neighborhood that ticks a lot of boxes for many who call it home. “You have accessibility to everywhere. I want to get a super-duper burger, I want to go downtown, I want to go for a hike, I can do that here. It’s effortless,” says Josh Deitch, a local Realtor with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, a top-ranked Realtor in Mill Valley. While traffic can be heavy, the neighborhood also has a strong community feel, according to Oggi Kashi, a Realtor with North Point Real Estate who has lived in the area since 1980 and sold real estate since 2006. “The community is pretty strong – I guess you could say tight-knit. Everyone does Halloween – it’s a big neighborhood event that draws people in from other areas,” says Kashi.

Many recreational opportunities and views of Mount Tamalpais
A well-developed park system makes the most of Sycamore Park’s natural features. Parks and meadows surround Pickleweed Inlet. On the west side of the inlet, Bayfront Park features soccer fields, picnic areas, and trails for biking, hiking and jogging along the inlet, as well as a large grassy dog park. Kayakers can launch from the small boat ramp but must mind tidal schedules to avoid getting stuck in the mud. Harrison Skate Park is adjacent to this area, and a 3.7-mile path connecting Mill Valley to Sausalito runs through it as part of the San Francisco Bay Trail. Hauke Park and Bayfront Meadow offer open spaces with views of Mount Tamalpais. The neighborhood’s namesake Sycamore Park is located in the western wing of the neighborhood, featuring green space and a network of wooden play structures with slides, monkey bars and climbing walls. Freeman Park features a playground and half basketball court. Closer to downtown Mill Valley, live oaks shade a picnic area at the expansive Boyle Park, which also features tennis courts, a baseball diamond and playground equipment. The Mill Valley Community Center is located in Sycamore Park. It has an aquatics and fitness center and hosts events such as a Juneteenth Freedom Festival and a community campout.
