Hillside views of San Rafael Bay
Perched along the rippling waters of the San Rafael Bay, Country Club is an upscale neighborhood nestled in the wooded hills of east San Rafael. The neighborhood was named for a former golf club that was subdivided after World War II in favor of today’s luxury homes, broadleaf trees and winding streets. "You’ve got some really beautiful homes on big, country lots that you usually don’t get out here,” says Realtor Lindy Emrich of Sotheby’s International Realty, who frequently works in Country Club and lives in the neighboring Dominican community. “It’s a bit rural, but it’s just a few minutes from downtown San Rafael.”

Marin Yacht Club
All that remains of Country Club’s former country club is its Spanish Colonial Revival clubhouse, now a private residence on leafy Margarita Drive. Once part of this country club, the Marin Yacht Club sailed off on its own in 1934; today it’s a strong source of local community, with family-and dog-friendly cruises and gatherings. Set on 27 private acres along the San Rafael Canal, the club includes a restaurant and outdoor pool, as well as bocce, tennis and pickleball courts. To simply park and service a vessel or superyacht, residents can rent a slip at marinas like Loch Lomond Marina Park. For a view of the bay from land, locals enjoy the benches, lawns and walking paths at Bayside Park.

Andy’s Local Market
Andy’s Local Market is the only neighborhood grocery store, but it offers a pizza oven, barbecue menu, coffee cafe and deli, and fresh produce. The original market in a local chain, it’s as much a grocery store as a neighborhood hangout, with a full bar inside and Adirondack chairs and picnic tables outside. For everything else, there’s Trader’s Joe’s and Whole Foods just west of the neighborhood.

Luxury homes on shady lanes
Ranging from $1.5 million to $7 million, most of the homes here are mid-century modern and Craftsman-style, with four to five bedrooms and three to five baths. “There are lot of custom homes here, mostly built in the 1940s and 50s,” Emrich says. Though all local homes are beautifully kept with established, manicured landscaping, the more expensive ones are found in the hillsides or close to San Rafael Bay. Streets are wide and sidewalks narrow, and many homes are gated. Around almost every corner, residents can catch a glimpse of golden, oak-studded hills or calm teal-grey water.
