Where is Greenbrae?
In central Marin, at the spot where Sir Francis Drake Boulevard meets US 101. Kentfield is to the west, Larkspur to the south, and San Rafael is north and east across the hills and the freeway. Greenbrae shares ZIP 94904 with Kentfield.
Corte Madera Creek and its marshes run along the south side, and Bon Air Road crosses the creek toward Larkspur.
Why does the interchange matter?
Because most moves in or out of Greenbrae go through it. Sir Francis Drake carries the traffic of the whole Ross Valley to US 101 here, and it gets heavy at commute hours in both directions. Being close to the freeway is a big help, as long as the truck is not trying to get on at 8 in the morning.
What are the homes like?
Single-family homes on the hills north of the boulevard, many on sloped lots with split levels and steps to the entry, along streets that curve up the hillside. Closer to Bon Air Road and the creek there are condos, townhomes and apartment buildings.
Who sets the parking rules?
It depends on the address. Some streets are under the City of Larkspur and others are Marin County roads. If the truck needs to hold curb space, we check which rules apply to your street.
Do condo buildings have move rules?
Many do: set move hours, elevator reservations, a loading area and sometimes a certificate of insurance. Ask your HOA or manager early, and send us the wording for the COI.
How big a truck can you bring?
On the main streets, a full-size truck. On the tighter hillside streets we sometimes use a smaller truck so it can park and turn safely.
