Elegant, quiet, wooded and hilly, Ross features many narrow streets, walls and gates that protect the privacy of its handsome and often exclusive residences.

Elegant, quiet, wooded and hilly, Ross features many narrow streets, walls and gates that protect the privacy of its handsome and often exclusive residences. Throughout this small and serene town, tree-shaded lanes are lined with a pleasing mix of older and new construction homes-the majority of which could be described as large estates or luxurious custom builds. Large properties often include amenities like tennis courts, swimming pools or accommodations for horses. Community resources are equally impressive, starting with the Ross Elementary School listed in Child magazine as one of the nation’s top ten schools. The Marin Art and Garden Center covers ten full acres with facilities and lush natural beauty, the focal point of many recreational activities and classes. Magnificent trees, charming ponds, and meticulous grounds make the Center a wonderful place to visit and relax. A private high school and the close proximity of prime parkland add to the attraction. Ross is just a mile away from the College of Marin, which offers additional cultural, recreational and educational opportunities. Commuters can look forward to a quick trip into the city.
