Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
Sleepy Hollow lives up to its name with peaceful, secluded streets that wind through wooded hills and wide-open lots. This tucked-away neighborhood in the hills of San Anselmo offers a semi-rural lifestyle while still being close to downtown amenities. Homes are typically ranch-style or custom estates, many with large yards and views of the surrounding ridgelines. The area is known for its strong sense of community, centered around the Sleepy Hollow Community Center and pool. But what really sets the neighborhood apart is the easy access to nature: trailheads leading into Terra Linda Open Space Preserve, Loma Alta, and Sorich Park are all close by, making it a dream for hikers, mountain bikers, and dog walkers.
