Moved to San Anselmo three years ago after a few years in Greenbrae and years in SF/East Coast/South. I don’t think there’s a more perfect small town in the country. It’s truly delightful living here - perfect weather, awesome neighborhood and neighbors, good schools, an actual thriving downtown. I haven’t been able to find anywhere else that even comes close! The only downside is the SF commute BUT location in San Anselmo makes a big difference! Not sure where the place you found is located but it is far easier to get in/out of town if you live in the Seminary area (before the Red Hill mess). If the place is farther out (Sleepy Hollow), you’re gonna have a more challenging commute. Red Hill intersection is a real hassle but there’s talk about transitioning it into a round-a-bout; however they are only at the traffic study phase so still a ways out. Good luck and please DM if I can answer any questions. My BIL is a Marin real estate agent and has lots of good intel!

San Anselmo is lovely. I have lived in both places. My kids went to Redwood and what was Drake High School. The schools are incredible in both places. I loved the community in San Anselmo and the proximity to Fairfax. I will say one thing that mattered to me. The ‘hub’ traffic. Traffic out of the Ross Valley probably kept me from making the drive to the city as much as I wanted to with kids. You should consider it because its a real thing. On the other hand, access to the mountain, the lakes and ocean are so much easier from San Anselmo. Good luck.

Downtown San Anselmo. Good restaurants, bakery, a great dentist, nice food market, beautiful walks around a little town, the bus station is right here connecting to the SMART train, the ferry, the city, Santa Rosa airport to the north, busses to SFO, etc. been here on the creek 17 years after selling my last house and traveling for a few years. I travel often, but there is no place I would rather live.
