The Strawberry neighborhood is an unincorporated community located just east of the 101 freeway between the Seminary exit and Tiburon Boulevard. The community is an easy 10-15 minute drive to San Francisco (about eight miles).
San Anselmo is one of my favorite Marin towns. The pretty town sits in the Ross Valley and is bordered by undeveloped ridges and hillsides. The town center is on San Anselmo Avenue, off Sir Francis Drake Boulevard.
San Anselmo still feels like a small town. People know their neighbors, children are welcome everywhere. The downtown area was virtually destroyed on December 31, 2005 when raging floods put the entire downtown under water. You can still seem some visual damage from the flood, but the town bounced back rapidly due to tremendous support from both residents and businesses of the town. The strength of the community in San Anselmo was evident after the floods.
