Welcome to San Marino

An elegant neighborhood full of private estates
 
If the atmosphere here makes you feel like you’re living inside a classic romantic comedy, you wouldn’t be alone. This affluent, gorgeous location has been the setting for multiple films, including The Holiday by Nancy Meyers. With immaculate streets lined with elegant gated mansions, it’s easy to fall in love with the reality of living here.
 
In the early 1900s, Henry E. Huntington purchased land to build a mansion on. The land around was divided into smaller properties, though still large enough for wealthy estates. In 1913, all of these properties were incorporated as the city of San Marino.
 
To this day, the city continues to have the wealthy air that Huntington founded it with. It is one of the most exclusive and expensive cities in the area, full of gated estates with sprawling lawns and high levels of privacy.
