Hillsborough

Hillsborough is one of the Bay Area’s most exclusive and private communities, known for its sprawling estates, tree-lined streets, and serene suburban elegance. The town is almost entirely residential, with homes set on acre-plus lots featuring manicured gardens and mature trees that provide both privacy and sophistication. While Hillsborough lacks its own commercial district, nearby Burlingame and San Mateo offer upscale dining, boutique shopping, and everyday conveniences, and its prime location near Highway 280 allows quick access to San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and the wider Bay Area. The community is served by highly regarded public and private schools, making it especially appealing to families. Residents also enjoy parks, scenic walking and jogging trails, and nearby golf courses, creating a uniquely refined, private, and tranquil Peninsula lifestyle.
