Bookended by Nordstrom and Macy’s, The Village at Corte Madera is an outdoor shopping sanctuary. The very best retail — alongside abundant flowerpots, whimsical fountains and even a firepit — satisfies sophisticated shoppers close to home in beautiful Marin County. Store after store of top-tier names pack a stylish punch. Starting with Anthropologie and Apple and all the way through to Williams-Sonoma and White House Black Market, The Village marries “easy” with “excellent.” A very nice package indeed.
