Overview Gracious homes, stunning views, wooded neighborhoods and good schools distinguish the Greenbrae and Kentfield communities. Growth in these communities was augmented by construction of the popular Bon Air Center, home of a number of businesses. Because of the way development and annexation proceeded, many Greenbrae homes are actually in Larkspur. Greenbrae is home to Marin General Hospital, the county’s largest medical facility, and a wide range of clinics and medical specialty offices.
