Greenbrae:

Greenbrae, site of an old dairy ranch, has its modern roots in the family of Niels Schultz Sr., a pioneer Marin developer who liked the sound of "brae," Scottish for hillside. The family bought the 700-acre Greenbrae Ranch near Larkspur in 1946. The Kent family name is emblazoned across Marin. It all began when family patriarch Albert Emmett Kent bought an 800-acre valley that would later become Kentfield. His son, William, was a Marin congressman, philanthropist and founder of Muir Woods. Among the area's many attributes: gracious homes, stunning views, wooded neighborhoods and good schools.

What to See
Mt. Tamalpais and Muir Woods are easily accessed from Highway 101, and Greenbrae has one main park and several nearby hiking and biking trails. Aside from the shops and businesses at Bon Air Market, there's plenty of shopping and dining opportunities at nearby Larkspur Landing. Greenbrae is also home of Marin General Hospital, the county's largest medical facility. The College of Marin is in Kentfield.
