New Neighbors

Welcome to Glenwood!

Glenwood is excited to have you join our community and enjoy what our unique location and neighborhood offers.

Glenwood is a great place to enjoy all of Marin. It has something unique for everyone, whether you are looking for peace and quiet at the base of China Camp State Park, are a new family looking to utilize the park and schools and/or just hoping to meet a few like minded people to join on a walk.

Glenwood Neighbors

Glenwood neighbors is a local community group whose mission is to foster connection between residents to increase enjoyment, value and safety for our residents.

Our top initiatives include

Leading and funding ReadyGlenwood, our community’s disaster preparedness efforts.
Putting on annual social events including holiday home decorating contests (wait till you see Halloween), meetups for local groups and events like an Easter Egg Hunt.
Organizing and communicating local information like a yearly tag sale, upcoming events and local news.

Annual dues are just $50, and though optional, around 9 in 10 member-homes contribute. Donations are essential to fund education and equipment for ReadyGlenwood and other safety related programs, and the social initiatives support us with creating an engaged, connected community that can lean on each other in demanding times.

Join Today!

On behalf of the Glenwood Neighbors Executive Board, welcome and can’t wait to meet you.

Cheers!

The Glenwood Neighbors Executive Board
