REAL ESTATE • First Mover
Home to the region’s first sawmills, Mill Valley has long left behind its beginnings as a quarry, lumberyard, and ranch. It’s now a cozy, 4.85-square-mile community with a population of around 14,000, most of whom (contrary to its name) live in homes that cling to the side of the region’s steep hills. Those homes changed hands at a median price of $2.25M in the past year, Compass reports. Here, three listings to mull:
