Marin County, California — “Best Place to Raise Kids,” Says Forbes Magazine

Forbes Magazine’s assessment of Marin County as a place to raise children follows: “If money were no object, Marin would be tops on our list.” 

And the article goes on to state that “[Marin] offers the best education in the country, with a 97% graduation rate and a list-topping SAT score of 1,133.” Of course, with a median home price of $901,900, Marin is also the highest priced County on the list.

Nonetheless, I think that Forbes got it half-right. I say that despite the relatively high homes prices, Marin is hands-down America’s Best Place To Raise A Family!

Lets Review Forbes’ Accolades For Marin During The Past Year

Earlier this year Marin County was also identified as one of America’s Richest Counties by Forbes. In addition, Belvedere and Ross were named by Forbes as Top Suburbs to Live Well (for San Francisco). And while we are talking about Ross, it was also named as one of the Most Expensive Zip Codes by Forbes.

And finally, as readers of my articles will recall, last July Forbes announced that Marin County, California has one of “The Best School Districts For The Buck” in the entire country.
