New Town in Sausalito sits just east of Caledonia Street with easy access to Bridgeway and the waterfront. Approximate coordinates: 37.8596° N, 122.4854° W (Google Maps). Estimated population: about 7,200 in Sausalito; New Town is a small share of that.
Residents and small businesses here balance hillside homes, houseboats, and busy tourist corridors. Nearby landmarks include Marinship Park, Sausalito City Hall, Sausalito Police Department, MLK Park & Gym, Marin General Hospital (nearby in Greenbrae), Fort Baker, Bay Area Discovery Museum, Cavallo Point Lodge, and Dunphy Park.
Historically, New Town grew alongside Marinship’s World War II shipyard expansion, then evolved into mixed residential, maritime, and arts uses. We help households with trusts for multi-level hillside properties, durable powers of attorney for liveaboard residents, and succession plans for waterfront shops on Caledonia and Bridgeway.
Climate considerations: we address wildfire smoke events, power shutoffs, and sea-level/flood risks along Richardson Bay by structuring emergency guardianships, digital asset plans, and insurance-trust coordination. We follow Sausalito municipal codes, Marin County probate procedures, and California statutory requirements; filings are aligned with the Marin County Civic Center.
We also serve nearby neighborhoods: Old Town (historic waterfront homes), Hurricane Gulch (steep streets and view properties), and Marinship (commercial/light industrial). Plans consider mooring agreements, HOA bylaws, and live-work studios common to these areas.
Our office uses recycled paper, secure e-signatures, and remote consultations to reduce travel and waste, supporting local environmental efforts around the Bay. Contact the Law Office of Matthew W. Harris for tailored Estate Planning Attorney services in New Town.
