After living in San Francisco for 8 years, my husband and I decided it was time to buy our first home. We looked in both San Francisco and Marin and decided we were ready to settle down in the 'burbs. We were lucky enough to find the perfect house for us. So in May 2008 we packed up our apartment and moved across the Golden Gate Bridge to Tiburon.
The New HouseWe originally fell in love with Tiburon because of it's proximity to the San Francisco Bay. We wanted to be near the water because of the beautiful views and the cooler weather. Tiburon also reminded me of growing up in Newport Beach where as kids we spent most of our time in the water whether it was sailing, swimming, or rowing boats around the bay to visit our friends. We also knew that someday we'd have kids and the schools in Tiburon were great too.
We love that our friends enjoy visiting us in the 'burbs. After all we are only 15 minutes away from our old neighborhood, the Marina. It was one of my best girlfriends, Sarah, that dubbed Tiburon "Perfect Town". Every time she visits, she is amazed at how the weather is almost always better here in Tiburon than in San Francisco and that we have events such as Friday Nights on Main each Friday night during the summer. Sarah is also convinced that all of the children are polite and adorable and comments on how lucky they are to be growing up in "Perfect Town".
After 14 months of living here, we are very happy. We love living in Marin and haven't missed living in the city at all. I'm glad we made the move to "Perfect Town"!
