Welcome to Kentfield

Upscale Living Surrounded by Natural Beauty
 
Tucked in at the base of Mount Tamalpais, Kentfield is one of Marin County’s most distinguished and private residential communities. Its origins trace back to the mid-1800s as part of the historic Rancho Punta de Quentin land grant, eventually evolving into a coveted retreat for affluent San Franciscans. The town was named after Albert Kent, a U.S. congressman and conservationist who helped shape the region's preserved open space. Today, Kentfield maintains its legacy of understated luxury, offering residents a tranquil lifestyle amid redwood groves, creeks, and hillside vistas.
