Why Ross
Ross School is the town's own TK–8 public school, run by a one-school district. It's known for small classes and is consistently ranked among the best in California.
From Ridgeview Drive you can walk to Ross School, the post office and the center of town. Everyday errands don't need a car.
Ross has about 2,300 residents and around 700 households. It's quiet, leafy and exclusive. People choose it for the privacy.
The 11-acre Marin Art & Garden Center and its Barn Theater are right in town. Phoenix Lake and the trails of Mount Tamalpais are just beyond.
Ross is in central Marin, just north of the Golden Gate Bridge. The Larkspur ferry and Highway 101 are minutes away.
Ross was incorporated in 1908 and named after James Ross, who bought the land in 1857. It has kept its small-town character ever since.
The opportunity
The success of San Francisco's AI companies is driving up real estate prices across the Bay Area. Many successful San Franciscans eventually choose to move to Marin. Ross, known for its privacy, top-rated school and small-town charm, is at the top of many buyers' lists.
With so few households and almost no vacant land, owning a buildable lot here puts you ahead of that demand. You can design and build on your own schedule.
Buyers should confirm zoning, building size, utilities and permit requirements with the Town of Ross before purchase.
