One of our favorite downtown areas with an abundance of restaurants, local shops, lovely boutiques, cafes, and lots of antiquing, San Anselmo offers a walk- and bike-friendly lifestyle.
Year round community events and parks combined with terrific schools and sunny warm weather
make San Anselmo an ideal location. Memorial Park has an amazing playground and the turf soccer fields are perfect for after-school play near the dog park. Extensive offerings from the Recreation Department include camps, classes, and activities for the young and old, a holiday tree lighting ceremony and, outdoor movie nights in the summertime which add to its village charm. San Anselmo is adding restaurants and wine bars to its after-hours offerings, and Fairfax and San Rafael’s timeless music venues are just minutes away.

San Anselmo is home to the picturesque, castle-like Seminary and features many styles of homes including Craftsman, Tudors, Mediterranean and a handful of newly built modern abodes too. Centrally located in Marin off Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, cycling to town or to school is a daily and treasured experience. San Anselmo sits between Ross and Fairfax, both physically and figuratively, as the Seminary area that borders Ross has lots in common with its exclusive neighboring town, while some parts on the west side feel much like an extension of Fairfax. Additionally, Sleepy Hollow neighborhood extends to the north through the flats and up into the open space wilderness. Magnificent homes are found in this residential-only neighborhood that extends three miles beyond Sir Francis Drake all the way to San Domenico School. This variety of neighborhoods means that San Anselmo homes run the gamut from cozy, first home bungalows to multimillion-dollar grand estates, yet share an appealing charm whatever the price point and the schools are top notch.

Come see San Anselmo’s many great neighborhoods with distinct vibes and walkability. Amazing access to world class hiking, biking and horse back riding.
