Corte Madera

 

In Spanish, Corte Madera means chop wood, and the west side of town is still surrounded by the beautiful redwoods that supplied lumber to help build the city of San Francisco. Locally known as the Twin Cities, Corte Madera and Larkspur share abundant charm, warm weather, a police department, and school district, though eastern parts of Corte Madera fall in Tiburon’s Reed Union School District. A plethora of shopping options abound at two upscale outdoor shopping centers, The Village and Town Center. Corte Madera is also in close proximity to the Larkspur Ferry Terminal with easy access to highway 101 for a short commute to San Francisco.
