Best hidden gems in San Anselmo

Hey folks, I'm a teacher here and You can expect to pay around $2,750 for rent here. It's a a small town city with about 12,711 people. Average temperature is around 60--F, so the weather is moderate. The median home value here is around $1,524,300, which is pretty steep. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Does this match your experience? Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

I've lived in Old Town for about 6 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's not perfect but it works for me. When I first moved here from Baltimore, I was surprised by healthcare. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- The job market scene is challenging

The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Chain restaurants dominate

Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for retirees. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
