One of the great things about Marin is the diverse array of cool neighborhoods to choose from when you’re deciding where to buy a home. We love so many of them for a variety of reasons and we’re constantly working to document them all in the Marin Neighborhoods section of the website, but we’ll also highlight areas that we think buyers should be sure to consider in our Neighborhoods to Watch series here on the blog.
One area we think can be a great choice for many buyers is the one surrounding San Francisco Blvd. and Memorial Park in San Anselmo. It’s got a lot of features we think make for a great Marin neighborhood:
- Being able to walk to get coffee, the grocery store or a good breakfast spot.
- Being close to the one of the best parks for kids in Marin where you can play baseball or play on the coolest play structures around.
- Having your own community garden where the kids can pick their own vegetables or collect eggs from the chickens.
- Living close enough so that your kids can walk to their elementary and high schools.
- Close to open space where you can hike or run the dog.
- Having a cool, funky neighborhood bar where you can grab an inexpensive cocktail without having to get in the car.
The area has all of these benefits while also being close enough so that you can ride your bike to downtown San Anselmo or Fairfax, and having a good selection of relatively affordable starter homes by Marin standards to boot. It’s definitely worth a look if you’re a home buyer considering San Anselmo.
