Located just minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge, Gate 6 1/2 Road is a legendary slice of waterfront history. Once a hub for shipbuilders and seafaring adventurers, the area evolved into a vibrant houseboat community in the mid-20th century — home to artists, writers, musicians, and free spirits drawn to its raw beauty and freedom of expression. Today, it retains that same soul, offering an inspiring blend of maritime charm and creative culture.

Sausalito is sheltered from the wind and fog by the beautiful Marin Headlands. This makes Sausalito many degrees warmer than San Francisco with less fog and more sunshine. San Francisco can be noticeably cooler due to the cold Pacific currents and fog, Sausalito tends to experience a more Mediterranean-like climate. And the Marin Headlands offer some of the best walking/hiking/mountain biking opportunities in California.

Why Sausalito?
Sausalito’s rich history dates back to the late 1800s, when it was a hub for the shipbuilding and fishing industries. Today, the town of approximately 7,000 residents is a popular tourist destination and a haven for artists, writers, and musicians. One of the main attractions in Sausalito is its charming downtown area, and walkable waterfront; both feature a variety of unique shops, art galleries and award-winning restaurants. It’s also a haven for wind sports, minuted away from San Francisco, considered the epicenter for wind sports in Northern California. Sausalito offers the ideal launchpad for kiteboarders, windsurfers, and now, wing foilers — one of the fastest-growing sports in the world. The microclimates around Sausalito allow for a variety of conditions in a relatively small area — from smooth water near the houseboat docks to challenging chop just beyond the harbor. The town’s easy access, combined with its maritime heritage and breathtaking scenery, has attracted elite athletes and weekend warriors alike.
Whether you’re watching from the shore or harnessing the wind yourself, Sausalito captures the freedom, adrenaline, and natural beauty that make wind sports one of the most exhilarating ways to experience the Bay. It’s not just a destination—it’s a launch point for adventure.
A Lifestyle Like No Other
Life at 34 Gate 6 1/2 offers front-row access to what makes Marin special. Paddleboard before breakfast. Grab a coffee from a dockside café. Bike the Sausalito waterfront trail or ferry into San Francisco for work or play. And when the sun sets, gather with neighbors on the deck to toast another perfect day by the bay.
This is not just a place to live. It’s a place to dream, to build, to belong.
