San Anselmo

San Anselmo has everything: great weather, hiking and biking trails, a vibrant downtown, and good schools, making it a desirable destination for Marin County homebuyers.

The neighborhood surrounding the San Francisco Theological Seminary is a quiet, leafy enclave of large, older houses with well-tended yards. 

Going up Butterfield Road will take you to the hills above San Anselmo, which offer views of the open spaces, grasslands, and oak trees of northern Marin County. 

Downtown, locals get their fill of gourmet comfort food at Comforts and their caffeine fix at the Marin Coffee Roasters. Shopping for antiques is a notable pastime here, with numerous stores devoted to the perfect find.

San Anselmo is a town made for strolling. Small shops and restaurants line the main street, which backs onto San Anselmo Creek. Insalata’s and Cucina Restaurant & Wine Bar are popular dinner destinations with locals.
