With a population just over 12,000, it offers a small-town feel with easy access to the Bay Area's vibrant culture.

The median household income of $165,366 also speaks to a community that values both financial stability and quality of life. Unlike the national average, you'll find a strong emphasis on family here, where tree-lined streets lead to top-rated schools and a palpable sense of belonging. From an investment perspective, San Anselmo remains a highly sought-after market. The high home values are supported by a robust local economy, and the area consistently enjoys low crime rates, making it an ideal choice for families.
