0 Cielo, Novato, CA 94949

"I have lived within walking distance of downtown Novato for over 15 years. In the past five years, I feel the town seems to be making more of an effort to create events. There are a good variety of restaurants and grocery stores. It’s safe and there is great access to nature and hikes, particularly Indian Valley Campus is beautiful. My neighbors are kind and the area is dog friendly. I feel fairly safe, though I would not walk alone at night as a woman. There is some homelessness and I have been harassed before by people who are drunk or on drugs, but this is an issue in any city these days. It’s not frequent. That said, it’s very expensive to live here and it gets very hot! Make sure you have AC"

"I’ve lived in this neighborhood for 15 years and it’s lovey. The neighbors are incredible! Friendly and down to earth. "

"The calmness and the relaxation and nature to walk or hike around makes Novato or Marin County very unique and special."

"San Marin has an annual neighborhoodwide garage sale, and they have lots of activities for kids in the summer months. "

"Good bus access but long drive to the ferry. Terrible commute in car to city unless you leave early "

"Great trails in Hamilton Area. Smart Train stops is here. Great Library. I feel more people should be able to ride horses here with a bag attached for waste. Too close to the refinery."
