Woodacre, CA

Woodacre is a quiet, wooded community in the San Geronimo Valley of West Marin. Located just four miles west of downtown Fairfax, it offers a peaceful rural feel for its roughly 1,400 residents. The neighborhood is scenic and laid-back, with quiet country lanes winding past horse pastures, rustic hillside homes, and trailheads that lead straight into the surrounding open-space preserves.

Because Woodacre is unincorporated, residents head a few minutes down Sir Francis Drake Boulevard into Fairfax or San Rafael for grocery runs, dining, and errands. Local students generally attend the Lagunitas School District through middle school before moving on to the Tamalpais Union High School District. It is a great fit for movers looking for room to breathe, easy outdoor recreation, and a friendly, relaxed pace of life.
