Sausalito

Characterized as a residential and tourist town, the charming village of Sausalito is reminiscent of the south of France. Located just around the corner from the Golden Gate, the city offers lovely homes that range from handsome 50-year-old estates to contemporary models. Many homes feature balconies or decks, although yard space is extremely limited. Tree-shaded streets meander through hills to offer wonderful views of the Bay, Angel Island, and even the twinkling lights of downtown San Francisco.
