Welcome to Millbrae
A thriving area for commuters, with peaceful living and great schools
Millbrae has a great location between the Bay, San Andreas Lake, and Crystal Springs Park. The weather is mild and sunny because the famous San Francisco fog doesn’t reach Millbrae. The proximity to the
San Francisco International Airport makes it a convenient location for residents who love to travel. The
BART and
CalTrain make regular stops in the area so travel is easy to San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Commuters love the easy access and the ability to have a single-family home with bay views. Hillside homes have a mix of mid-century modern and California’s Spanish-style architecture.
The main attraction for families is the school system. Large numbers of
Mills High School students are regularly accepted to some of the best colleges in the country, colleges such as Berkeley, Harvard, and MIT.
