Sausalito

Where Bay Views Meet Boutique Charm

Neighborhood Snapshots

The Hill

Perched above the bay with postcard-worthy views of Richardson Bay and the San Francisco skyline, The Hill is one of Sausalito’s most sought-after areas. Streets are quiet, homes are refined, and the outlooks are nothing short of spectacular. Residents enjoy the calm, elevated setting, all while being just minutes from downtown and the ferry.

Marinship

A former shipbuilding hub turned creative haven, Marinship is where industry meets artistry. Here, houseboats float alongside artist studios, and the air carries a sense of possibility. It’s a place where people make things—art, music, ideas—and the bohemian vibe is very much alive. If you want character, history, and an independent spirit, this is your place.

Old Town

Tucked at the base of the hills just west of downtown, Old Town is the oldest part of Sausalito—and it wears its history well. With narrow, meandering streets and homes dating back over a century, this neighborhood has a timeless, storybook feel. Many properties offer bay views, and there’s a real sense of quiet and charm that’s hard to replicate.

New Town

Stretching north from downtown, New Town offers a comfortable mix of architectural styles—classic bungalows, updated contemporaries, and everything in between. With shops, restaurants, and the waterfront just steps away, it’s an easy, walkable neighborhood with a strong sense of community and daily convenience.

Bridgeway

Running the length of the waterfront, Bridgeway is the heart of Sausalito’s activity. Locals and visitors mingle here in cafés, wine bars, and galleries, with the bay glittering just outside every window. Living along Bridgeway means you’re in the middle of it all—but thanks to Sausalito’s relaxed pace, it never feels too crowded.

Marin City

Just north of Sausalito, Marin City is a proud, diverse community with deep roots and a growing creative identity. Originally built to house shipyard workers during WWII, the neighborhood is home to artists, musicians, and entrepreneurs. With quick freeway access, more attainable housing options, and ongoing revitalization efforts, it’s a place of both history and momentum.

Floating Homes

Perhaps Sausalito’s most iconic neighborhood, the floating homes community is unlike anywhere else in the Bay Area. About 400 colorful, uniquely styled homes line the marinas near Marinship, offering a lifestyle that’s both imaginative and deeply connected to nature. Residents often have kayaks or paddle boards tied up just outside their front door, and there's a warm, tight-knit vibe that makes this neighborhood as inviting as it is unusual.

For commuters, the Sausalito Ferry and direct access to Highway 101 make San Francisco easily accessible.
