"Great safe family friendly neighborhood"

We have lived her for 5 years and love the area. My favorite things about it are: walking distance to downtown Fairfax, quiet and safe, beautiful trails/hills. Great schools from what we hear (our daughter is only 2). Neighborhood is friendly, but not overly so (which I actually appreciate as I'm not super outgoing). The main downsides are our commute to SF and the cost of living here is a bit steep.
Pros
  • beautiful scenery
  • close to downtown Fairfax
  • quiet and safe
Cons
  • commute to SF is long - about an hour
  • on the expensive side
