Marin Communities:
Kentfield, CA

They certainly sound like cities—there’s a Kentfield School District, a Kentfield Post Office (zip code 94904), a Kentfield Fire Station, and a Kent Woodlands Property Owners Association. Yet neither Kentfield, nor its sister community Kent Woodlands, is actually a city. “They’re ‘unincorporated county areas,’” explains Susan Bowman. “The Marin County Board of Supervisors is the governing body.”

Combined, the two communities are home to over 8,100 residents, placing them midway between Sausalito (pop. 7,300) and Tiburon (pop. 8,900) on Marin’s population rankings. Kentfield, with 6,400 of those souls, lies on the eastern and mostly level side of Sir Francis Drake Boulevard between Greenbrae and Ross. Kent Woodlands—population about 1,700—occupies that lush, rolling slope of Mount Tamalpais behind College of Marin. Both communities derive their names from the family of influential Marin pioneer William Kent (1864-1928), a three-term Republican congressman and friend of John Muir who played a leading role in creating both Muir Woods National Monument and Mount Tamalpais State Park.
