Welcome to Novato

Living and working in Novato means belonging to a community that really does have something for everyone. Novatans take great pride and interest in their City and all it has to offer. A low population density and expansive open space contributes to Novato's rural, small-town atmosphere. Our quality-of-life standards are a top priority and focus for our decision-makers and community leaders in education, business, government, and non-profit organizations. A desire among Bay Area residents to live in Northern Marin County has created a steady demand for Novato housing. With Novato's award-winning schools, close proximity to San Francisco, and dedicated open space, Novato is a haven for families and retirees alike. We enjoy a strong homeownership market--nearly 70% of Novato homes are owner-occupied. No matter how long you have lived here, there is always something to discover. via novato.org
