San Anselmo is nestled at the heart of one of the most picturesque locations in California with spectacular views from the hills and a charming creek that meanders through downtown. This quaint town of 13,000 residents has an eclectic mix of business professionals, Hollywood entertainers, artists and entrepreneurs. With over 150 antique dealers within a half-mile radius of downtown, San Anselmo is considered the antique shop capital of Marin. The annual Art and Wine Festival, the Antique Dealers Fair, and the Country Fair Day draw in crowds from all around Marin County. Local real estate consists of older homes of varied architectural styles amid shady, tree-lined streets. San Anselmo offers the luxuries of a larger community while maintaining a "small town" feel.
