Living in Sausalito, CA

Because the upscale rentals in Sausalito are about 10 miles from downtown San Francisco and roughly 60 miles south of Napa Valley, the small town’s local economy is largely supported by a bustling hospitality industry. Renters will also find that Sausalito has more sunny days and higher temperatures than San Francisco, and renters are shielded from the notoriously thick San Francisco fog. Meanwhile, the Sausalito Marin County School District provides education to renters with families. With the finest dining, shopping and scenery in all of North Bay, renters who can afford a higher cost of living will have daily experiences that tourists never want to leave.
