Kentfield is located at the lower
portion of Mt. Tamalpais, situated between two
mountain ranges and bordered by Ross and Larkspur. This area provides top
quality hiking and biking trails and spectacular views that only a valley
city can provide. Kentfield offers a mild climate, even when it is foggy in
nearby areas, Kentfield will generally be sunny and a bit warmer. Kentfield
is an upper middle-class to wealthy community that offers the opportunity to
enjoy nature and community togetherness. The homes have a country setting,
nestled among pine, redwood, and manzanita with large lots, houses set back
from the road, and low profile roofs. Many of the residences are large
estate-size homes. Kent Woodlands is a sought-after prestigious neighborhood
of ranch, Mediterranean and colonial estates
with an active property owners association. Kentfield is named after Albert
Kent, a wealthy Chicago
meat packer who, along with his wife Adaline, settled in the area in 1872.
Adaline donated 23 acres of land for a community recreation center that later
became the site for the College of Marin, which is part of the California Community
College system. The College has been providing
exceptional educational opportunities since 1926. Each semester about 8,000
students are enrolled in over 1,100 credit classes and nearly 6,000 students
take advantage of the College's many outstanding community education classes.
In keeping with family tradition, Albert and Adaline's son William, who
became a U.S.
congressman and a conservationist, donated Muir Woods as a national park.
Thought of as a separate town, Kentfield is actually an unincorporated area
of Larkspur, governed by the County
Board of Supervisors,
and shares utilities and many public services with the Twin Cities of Corte
Madera and Larkspur.
Kentfield does have its own school district and is ranked in the 99th
percentile, the highest in the state. The Kentfield Schools Foundation is a
group of parents and community members who volunteer their time and efforts
for fundraising activities to support basic programs and fund additional
programs that foster excellence in education. With its central location,
Kentfield residents have access to a full range of nearby shopping and
recreational opportunities. The four major shopping areas (Bon Air Center, Village at Corte Madera, Corte Madera
Town Center
and Larkspur Landing) are minutes away and one can find all types of stores,
from nationally known chains to locally owned boutiques. Kentfield is close
to Mt. Tamalpais,
with miles of hiking and biking trails, and also is quick access to the many
parks located throughout Marin
County.
