Millbrae Neighborhood Guide
Millbrae is a compact San Mateo County city tucked between the San Francisco Bay and the coastal hills, immediately south of San Francisco International Airport. Its greatest asset is transit: the Millbrae BART/Caltrain intermodal station — the only station in the Bay Area where both systems share a platform — makes it a genuine transit hub. The city has a strong Asian-American community that has shaped one of the best restaurant corridors on the Peninsula, and its hilltop neighborhoods deliver sweeping bay views at more accessible price points than neighboring Burlingame.
Why Buyers Love Millbrae
- Unmatched transit access — The Millbrae station connects BART directly to San Francisco and the East Bay while Caltrain serves the entire Peninsula. Residents can reach downtown SF in under 30 minutes without a car.
- Outstanding dining scene — El Camino Real through Millbrae is dense with authentic Cantonese, Shanghainese, and Hong Kong-style restaurants, dim sum houses, and Asian bakeries, reflecting the city's vibrant Chinese-American community.
- Hillside views and quiet streets — The western residential neighborhoods climb steeply above downtown, rewarding buyers with panoramic bay views and a remove from the El Camino Real corridor noise.
- Proximity to SFO — For frequent business travelers and airline employees, living minutes from SFO without the airport's congestion is a real lifestyle advantage.
