Living in Mill Valley comes with so many perks. We get to enjoy outdoor adventures and frolic downtown and experience all the amazing events, shops, and restaurants it has to offer. One of the neighborhoods that enjoy a close proximity to downtown is Tamalpais Park. The neighborhood began to take shape in the early twentieth century and continues to evolve architecturally as homeowners update and expand their homes to reflect today’s lifestyle.

The architectural styles vary throughout the Tamalpais Park neighborhood. Many were built in the spirit of the California Bungalow, Craftsman style, or Brown Shingle. Often we see elements of all three styles working together to create what we see and enjoy today. The curved streets were designed with horse and buggy in mind and the trees along the streets inspired the street names themselves. It’s a charming neighborhood in a great location, so it’s no surprise that homebuyers keep it in mind when looking for their next home.
