San Anselmo Neighborhoods

Downtown

The walkable core along San Anselmo Avenue — close to restaurants, the public library, and Creek Park. Homes here tend to be smaller, older, and highly sought-after for their convenience.

Sleepy Hollow

A prestigious enclave with larger lots, mature landscaping, and a private swim and tennis club. One of the most family-oriented neighborhoods in all of Marin.

Seminary Drive

Hillside homes with expansive views, accessed via winding roads above downtown. A mix of mid-century ranches and newer custom construction.

Brookside

A quiet, flat neighborhood popular with young families. Walking distance to Brookside Elementary and Red Hill Shopping Center.

Upper Road & Scenic Avenue

Some of the most architecturally distinctive homes in town, perched on the ridgeline with views across the valley to Mt. Tamalpais.
