San Marin then and now
Once known as a more rural-leaning community, San Marin has grown to become a little more urbanized with time. Now with its own collection of interesting parks, restaurants and shops, San Marin has much to offer residents. “There’s still an open, horse ranch-y, old-Novato vibe here,” says Novato Realtor and San Marin resident Shawna McNulty, “but these days it’s best known as a friendly place to live, with some great independent businesses and fantastic hiking trails.”
