An Industrial City with Adventure 5 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) San Anselmo, California is a industrial urban town of more than 12,000 residents.

The city has plenty of career opportunities open to professionals who have the degree requirements, the only disadvantage is there is a lot of job competition. The expensive cost of living may turn some away, however those tolerant of these standards are ready for a fascinating urban lifestyle.

Winters temperatures are mild and steady throughout the city. It may Snow in the surrounding coastal mountains but melts quickly. What I love about living here is the spring and fall, which really stays neutral, the temperature may occasionally rise to the 60's or 70's and this is generally the hottest it gets, since summer weather only reaches the 50's.
