SACRAMENTO, California — Gov. Gavin Newsom and his wife are moving their family back to Marin County, an exclusive pocket of Northern California with rolling hills and redwood groves that’s across the bay from San Francisco, POLITICO has learned.


To ensure continuity in their children’s education, the family will split their time between Sacramento and Marin heading into the coming academic year,” said Izzy Gardon, a spokesperson for the governor.

Newsom and Siebel Newsom attended school in Marin, one of the country’s wealthiest communities with its houseboats, woodsy mansions with sweeping views of Mount Tamalpais and some of the nation’s best hiking trails. While Sacramento and central Marin are separated by just under 90 miles, the economic and cultural differences can be stark — with Marin’s median home price at $1.64 million — nearly double the cost of a home in California, which is more than double the nationwide median-priced home of just over $400,000.


Newsom went to Redwood, a public high school in Larkspur, and Siebel Newsom attended The Branson School, a private academy in nearby Ross, where her parents own a home. The Newsoms’ eldest child, Montana, is expected to start her freshman year at Branson, according to one of the people with knowledge of the plan. Since Newsom took office in 2019, his children have gone to private schools in Sacramento County
