Market Snapshot
Renter Demand In San Rafael
San Rafael is one of the California markets where we actively evaluate apartment buildings. Rental demand here is supported by Kaiser Permanente San Rafael Medical Center, Marin County government at the Civic Center, and SMART rail and Golden Gate Transit to San Francisco.
San Rafael holds much of Marin County's apartment supply, from dense older complexes in the Canal neighborhood to smaller buildings downtown and in Terra Linda. Buyers should check local rent and tenant rules and look closely at older building systems.
In Canal and Gerstle Park as much as Downtown San Rafael, we are open to buildings with deferred maintenance, below-market rents, or occupancy problems.

San Rafael Seller FAQ
Which parts of San Rafael do you buy in?
We look across the city and its surroundings — Downtown San Rafael, Canal, Terra Linda, and Gerstle Park — and we will review a property outside those areas on its own merits.
What drives rental demand in San Rafael?
Demand in San Rafael is supported by Kaiser Permanente San Rafael Medical Center, Marin County government at the Civic Center, and SMART rail and Golden Gate Transit to San Francisco. We weigh those fundamentals, along with the condition and rent roll of each building, when we set a price.
What if my San Rafael building has vacancies or deferred maintenance?
That is often where we add the most value. We buy buildings that need renovation, new management, or lease-up, and we account for that in our offer.
How does a sale to you work in Marin County?
