We are relocating from NJ with middle schooler and high schooler. How is the commute from Mill Valley to financial district of SF? Schools? Looking to rent until know the area. Considering Danville area as well.

It's great for small families...you can use the tennis club facilities, the location is stunning, school district is one of the best and you can get the Ferry Boat from Tiburon to SF. Good luck with your move!

In less than 10 minutes you can drive from Mill Valley to the Golden Gate Bridge and another 10 minutes to the Financial District in San Francisco. Another option is to hop on your bicycle, literally pedal just 5 minutes to either Sausalito, Tiburon or Larkspur to catch a beautiful and even relaxing (yes, a commute that is lovely!) 30 minute ferry ride across the bay to San Francisco's Ferry Building, dropping you directly into the Financial District. I would move to Mill Valley tomorrow if I could afford it. Extraordinary housing costs are the only drawback to that community.

Thank you for your response. It's hard when you are trying to find places on the west coast when you are still on the east coast. We will definitely be checking out Mill Valley. We'll be renting to begin with until we are sure of the area.
