About Terra

Linda

Terra Linda, located between Lucas Valley Road and the Terra Linda-Sleepy Hollow Divide, is a mid-century and hillside San Rafael neighborhood with a civic town center and open-space trailheads. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Northgate Town Center corridor along Las Gallinas Avenue, where cafes, small shops, and everyday errands share the same sidewalks. Eichler-style lines and low-slung ranch homes set a clean, indoor-outdoor architectural rhythm across the flats. Terra Linda Community Center and Pool acts as a local gathering point beside the community park. Terra Linda High School’s campus and fields add a steady, daytime pulse. China Camp State Park frames the eastern edge with bay views and long, quiet trails.
