San Marino Real Estate

Luxury homes in San Marino are much higher than the L.A. County average. Gorgeous estates and mansions sit on large lots, surrounded by well-manicured landscaping. The streets where home buyers will find these prestigious, custom homes are lined with mature shade trees which create a bucolic charm. Nothing here feels cramped nor ordinary; homes in San Marino either have open front yards deep setbacks.

Home colors are generally muted, producing a quiet elegance. Indeed, houses in San Marino are well-maintained and beautiful. Through local controls, they will remain that way for future generations; building permits (for new construction, additions, or repairs) are issued only after a multi-step review by various local authorities. All plans are heavily scrutinized by the City's Design Review Committee with a heavy emphasis on maintaining a low-density residential community rich in architectural character. Local zoning emphasizes setbacks, natural slopes, and respect for the existing trees and natural physical attributes of the land.

There are no apartments, condos, or townhomes within the city's borders.
