About

Millbrae

Millbrae is one of the Peninsula's most desirable cities for families — particularly those with connections to the Asian-American community. The city is home to some of the best schools in San Mateo County, and the unique BART/Caltrain intermodal station makes it the best-connected transit hub on the Peninsula, with direct service to both SF and Silicon Valley. The Broadway corridor offers an impressive concentration of authentic Cantonese, Mandarin, and Vietnamese restaurants that draw diners from across the Bay Area. The housing stock skews toward well-maintained single-family homes on generous lots. Demand is consistently high, inventory is limited, and prices reflect the city's status as a top-tier Peninsula address.
