Central Novato, located between Novato Creek and Highway 101, is a historic and civic Novato neighborhood with a walkable downtown grid and a creekside greenbelt. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Grant Avenue at Redwood Boulevard, where sidewalk patios, independent boutiques, and old-school storefronts set a steady, small-city pace. Community pillars include the Novato Theater Company, the Novato History Museum, and Trek Winery. Early- and mid-century homes mix with classic Main Street commercial blocks and pocket courtyards. Vintage signage, shade trees, and public art give the streetscape a lived-in feel. Trails and lawns along Novato Creek Park tie daily routines to the water and footbridges.
