In this brief video, Austin Klar promotes the Forbes neighborhood in San Rafael, Marin County, as the top choice for buyers seeking historic architecture without compromising on convenience. He explains that the area, named after early landowner Alexander Forbes, features well‑preserved century‑plus homes ranging from large Victorian to Spanish‑style residences. The flat, quiet streets are highlighted for their walkability and proximity—just behind downtown San Rafael—making them ideal for enjoying the city’s pleasant weather. Klar notes that because of these attributes, homes in Forbes consistently command the highest price‑per‑square‑foot in San Rafael, positioning the neighborhood as a premium market. He ends with a call to follow him for more Bay Area real‑estate content.

Chapters

If you want historic architecture in Marin County without sacrificing proximity to great food, then you definitely need to check out the Forbes neighborhood in San Rafael. Named after Alexander Forbes, one of the largest early landowners in San Rafael, the Forbes neighborhood is now the site of some gorgeously maintained century-plus-old homes of a variety of different architectural styles, large-scale Victorians, Spanish-style homes, you name it. As great as the homes are, the quiet, perfectly maintained flat streets are what do it for me. Super walkable, perfect for enjoying that A+ San Rafael weather, and the neighborhood is perfectly situated just behind downtown San Rafael. With features like this, it shouldn't be much of a surprise homes in the neighborhood tend to sell among the highest price per foot of homes in all of San Rafael every single year, but they are so worth it.
