Welcome to Sasn Alselmo
Great weather, access to hiking and biking trails, plus good schools and a vibrant downtown make San Anselmo a desirable destination for those looking to live a little off the beaten track.
The neighborhood surrounding the San Francisco Theological Seminary is a quiet, leafy enclave of large, older houses and well-tended yards. Heading up Butterfield road will take you to the rolling hills above San Anselmo with sweeping views of the open spaces, grasslands, and oak trees of northern Marin. Downtown the locals get their fill of gourmet food at Comforts and their caffeine fix at one of the local coffee shops. Shopping for antiques and other unique items is a notable pastime here—it’s a town made for strolling. Small shops and many restaurants line the main street, which back onto the active San Anselmo Creek.
