Welcome to your best Corte Madera real estate resource as well as all homes on the market in Marin County. Conveniently located just a few miles south of bustling San Rafael and only right down the street from nearby Larkspur, the Central Marin County town of Corte Madera is seemingly close to everything, which is among one of the many reasons why it's widely thought of as a top destination for today's suburban home buyers to consider. The name "Corte Madera" essentially translates to "chop wood" in Spanish, which was derived from the area's high output of lumber back in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Since then, however, Corte Madera has grown far beyond the once-thriving lumber industry and is now where over 9,000 people call home. Two major shopping outlets near the center of town attract people from all over Marin County and the city's easy access to two major highways makes traveling into both San Francisco and Oakland fairly quick and easy, ultimately making it a great spot for anyone who frequently commutes into either city.
