BIGMallrat's Editorial Review

8.5 of 10 scoreMarin County's premier shopping center, the Village at Corte Madera represents super-chic shops and super-chic people. Basically, the Stanford Shopping Center of Marin County.

Atmosphere

A minor renovation was completed early December 2005. It updated the walkways with playful art, fountains, an outdoor fire pit, and a fresh coat of paint.

Stores

The Village has unique architecture and high-end national retailers that make it worth a visit alone. Among others, you'll find a Coach, Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn, Sharper Image, and Banana Republic. The Macy's isn't full-scale; only two floors.

Food

An enclosed food court can be found near Nordstrom. Additional restaurants and eateries are available throughout the center.

Parking

Instead of being surrounded by a parking lot, This shopping center lays entirely on one side. The parking lot is then concentrated on the east side. The truly adventurous could try the limited number of parking spaces on the west side, but you'll need lots of good luck. Nonetheless, regardless of the distance away from the center, we found parking to be relatively easy.

Location

The Village is conveniently located in Corte Madera CA, at Hwy 101 and the east side of Paradise Drive.
