Answers to the questions we hear most about Magnolia Village. Details will be added as construction progresses, and First Look List members hear news first.
Magnolia Village is a collection of 20 new townhomes now under construction at 1133–1169 Magnolia Avenue in Larkspur, California — 16 market-rate residences and 4 below-market-rate homes across five residential buildings, alongside neighborhood retail. The project was approved by the City of Larkspur and is coming in 2027.
On Magnolia Avenue in Larkspur, at the corner of Estelle Avenue — with Rustic Bakery at its doorstep, Woodlands Market a short walk up the avenue, and downtown Larkspur’s cafés, boutiques, and redwood-lined trails a flat mile down it.
Magnolia Village is coming in 2027. Because the community comprises five buildings, homes will finish and become available in stages. Construction milestones are shared with the First Look List as they happen.
Multi-level townhomes with attached garages, in a range of layouts suited to full-time Marin living. Verified floor plans and specifications will be published on this site once final construction documents are confirmed — the community releases confirmed details rather than early approximations.
Yes. Every residence includes a balcony, with roof decks on select homes — private outdoor space designed around Marin’s climate.
The commercial building where Rustic Bakery operates sits on its own parcel and is retained under the City-approved plans — and the bakery is open there today, right beside where the townhomes are rising.
Not yet — Magnolia Village is an active construction site with no public access, for everyone’s safety. When viewing opportunities become available closer to completion, First Look List members will be the first to know.
This stretch of Magnolia Avenue is one of central Marin’s most walkable corners: coffee at the front door, a full grocery a short stroll north, downtown a level mile south, and Mt. Tamalpais trailheads minutes away. The questions below cover the specifics — dining, shopping, parks, trails, and the lakes.
Rustic Bakery anchors mornings from the adjacent parcel, and one short block south, Internos Wine Bar shares its stretch of Magnolia with R’Noh Thai, whose dining deck overlooks the creek. Heading north into Kentfield, Woodlands’ deli counters and coffee bar handle lunch, Half Day Cafe is the neighborhood breakfast institution, and Guesthouse serves dinner and cocktails next door on College Avenue — all within about a ten-minute walk.
Woodlands Market, the family-owned grocer that has anchored Kentfield since 1986, is a genuine one-stop: full produce, butcher and seafood counters, prepared foods, a deli, a coffee bar, an in-house bakery, a deep wine and cheese selection, and fresh flowers from its garden shop. The surrounding College Avenue corridor adds everyday services, with Half Day Cafe, Guesthouse, and the College of Marin campus just beyond.
A level mile south, downtown Larkspur packs a remarkable amount into a few blocks: dinner at Restaurant Picco and Pizzeria Picco, Perry’s on Magnolia with its patio in the redwood grove, and Tavola Rustica; espresso and pastry at Emporio Rulli’s old-world café; coffee at Equator and the Feerma Love coffee cart; and a nightcap at the long-running Silver Peso, the town’s beloved dive bar. The restored Art Deco Lark Theater screens films and live broadcasts, and boutiques fill the blocks between. A few minutes east at the ferry landing, Marin Country Mart adds another tier of shops and restaurants plus a year-round Saturday farmers market.
Dolliver Park, downtown Larkspur’s storybook playground shaded by towering redwoods — locals call it Dark Park — sits where Madrone Avenue meets Magnolia. Piper Park on Doherty Drive is the city’s main park, with sports fields, tennis courts, a destination playground, picnic lawns along Corte Madera Creek, and a fenced off-leash dog park. And the flat Corte Madera Creek multi-use path, reached via College Avenue, runs toward Greenbrae in one direction and Ross in the other — the neighborhood’s favorite everyday walk and ride.
Three trail systems ring the neighborhood. The Dawn Falls Trail into redwood-filled Baltimore Canyon begins at the end of Madrone Avenue at Valley Way, a short ride down Magnolia, and leads to a seasonal 30-foot waterfall at its best after winter rains. The King Mountain Loop climbs from the Citron Fire Road near downtown, with access from Ward Street and Willow Avenue. And above Kentfield, the gate at the end of Crown Road opens onto the gently graded Southern Marin Line Fire Road, a favorite for running, dog walking, and family rides, connecting onward to the Hoo Koo E Koo and Blithedale Ridge trails.
The Phoenix Lake trailhead at Natalie Coffin Greene Park — at the end of Lagunitas Road in Ross — is about ten minutes by car, or an easy ride via the Corte Madera Creek path. From Phoenix Lake’s loop trail, the watershed’s wider trail network extends toward Marin Water’s other Mt. Tamalpais reservoirs — Lagunitas, Bon Tempe, Alpine, and Kent. On the way home, Ross Common offers 6 oz., a cozy wine bar, with the Marin Art & Garden Center nearby — and parking at the trailhead is limited, so early starts are rewarded.
Larkspur is one of Marin’s best-connected towns. Golden Gate Ferry sails to San Francisco from the Larkspur Ferry Terminal, roughly 2.5 miles away, and the SMART train runs north from its Larkspur station toward San Rafael and Sonoma County. US-101 is minutes east, and the Golden Gate Bridge is about a 15-minute drive in light traffic.
Four of the 20 townhomes are below-market-rate homes under the City of Larkspur’s affordable housing requirements. Eligibility criteria, application procedures, and the administering program will be announced as the release approaches, consistent with the City-approved affordability requirements.
Yes, a homeowners association will maintain the community’s common areas. Dues, services, and governing documents will be announced as they are finalized.
Pricing has not been released. It will be announced closer to the first release, and members of the First Look List are notified first as floor plans, pricing, and appointment availability publish.
