People & Lifestyle

Tam Valley might be the best area of Mill Valley for commuting into San Francisco. It’s also less insulated from San Francisco’s famous fog, and it tends to experience more weather than other Mill Valley areas. The community offers a great balance of proximity to SF and the unique lifestyle and atmosphere of Mill Valley. Homes are close to the award-winning Tamalpais Valley Elementary School.
 

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

Tam Valley is less than three miles from Downtown Mill Valley, and it also offers its own small downtown area with a great selection of local businesses at Tamalpais Valley Junction. Proof Lab is the area’s premier surf shop, carrying over 400 boards and all other surfing essentials. Proof Lab also sells skateboards and apparel. Right next to Proof Lab, Equator Coffees pours excellent fresh-roasted single-origin coffees and blends. Hook Fish Co. at Surf Lab offers a beer garden serving fish and chips, burritos, and crab cakes alongside a range of local beers, natural wines, and kombucha.
 
Good Earth Natural Foods opened its first Marin County location in 1969 and remains at the forefront of organic grocery shopping. The store sells fresh produce and other natural foodstuffs along with ready-to-eat items such as pizza slices, grilled and deli sandwiches, wok bowls, and Mexican-style taqueria eats. You can also pick up organic berries, kimchi, and seasonal fruits and veggies at Cecilia's Gardens Fruit Stand just outside Tam Valley’s downtown area. Follow Highway 101 a short distance southeast from Tam Valley for upscale takes on classic American comfort eats at the charmingly old-school 1930s Buckeye Roadhouse.
