ABOUT
SAN ANSELMO, CA
Centered in idyllic Marin County, the town of San Anselmo is in the Ross Valley, nestled below hills and mountains just 14 miles north of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. Situated between the larger city of San Rafael to the east, Ross to the south, and Fairfax to the west, there is easy accessibility to outdoor recreational activities yet is minutes away from major cities across the Bay Area. The lush landscape, great weather all year round, and central location make San Anselmo a highly sought after destination.
Other aspects of this quaint community, which add to its appeal, are its excellent school district, thriving downtown area, and fascinating history. San Anselmo Avenue, the main business street, has many boutique shops that define the town's character. In fact, Sunset Magazine named San Anselmo the "Best in the West" for antique shopping. The town is also renowned for its annual outdoor Art and Wine festival and summertime film nights in the park. It is an amazing environment to invest in real estate and to raise a family.
Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty is highly experienced in the San Anselmo market and we can carefully place you with the right agent to find you the perfect home here.

EXPLORE
SAN ANSELMO, CA
Welcome to San Anselmo! Sunny San Anselmo’s climate, rich history, creek-side location, and strong sense of community make it a memorable place to visit. The railroad played a vital role in San Anselmo’s history. The town was mostly pastoral until 1875, when the North Pacific Railroad completed a line from Sausalito to Tomales, via San Anselmo. The town quickly became the “Hub” of much activity. With numerous annual events, hiking and biking trails, and fine dining opportunities, San Anselmo is still known as the “Hub” today.
A great Town to visit and an incredible place to call home. We are located in the heart of Marin, surrounding Sir Francis Drake with winding streets, the laughter of children filling the air as they bike to school, an active community running, biking, hiking and living fully on the backside of Mt. Tam. From world class food to stunning views, our proximity to San Francisco is only surpassed by our easy access to Point Reyes, Sonoma and Napa. Slow down and enjoy the good life with us!
