Cow Hollow and the Marina are separated by Lombard Street, a busy six-lane thoroughfare that whisks Marin Commuters towards downtown. Below Lombard, are the 1920s “Marina-style” homes and apartments with practical layouts and attractive features like high-coved ceilings and bay windows. The Marina District is deeply marked by its history. After the 1906 earthquake, vast quantities of rock and brick rubble from the destroyed downtown buildings were brought and dumped into Marina’s marshlands, creating the initial foundation of what the neighborhood is today. In the following decades, many businesses, apartment buildings, and houses rapidly emerged, ultimately making Marina one of the best places to live in the entire city. With diverse bars and restaurants, recreation areas offering great views of the Golden Gate Bridge, yachts on the water, and a selection of cultural events in locations such as Fort Mason, the neighborhood certainly has a lot to offer.
