Mill Valley is located just north of San Francisco in Marin County, at the foot of Mount Tamalpais. The town has been the home of many American music and arts luminaries, from singers Janis Joplin and John Lennon to writers Jack Kerouac and Gary Snyder.
It has been ranked as one of America’s best places to live and most expensive zip codes, offering the casual charm of a small European village just minutes from the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and downtown San Francisco.
It is nationally renowned for its artistic and cultural heritage, hosting annual events such as the Mill Valley Film Festival and offering a wide variety of boutiques, cafes, art galleries, and theater companies. Mill Valley Map
