San Carlos

Offering a warm and welcoming lifestyle, San Carlos blends excellent schools, a charming downtown, and a strong sense of community in a way that feels both vibrant and close-knit. Downtown Laurel Street serves as the heart of the city, lined with beloved locally owned restaurants, cafés, and shops, and sits just steps from the Caltrain station, providing easy access to San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and neighboring Peninsula cities. Community life flourishes through shared spaces like Burton Park—with its lawns, playgrounds, sports facilities, and youth center—and through cherished traditions such as the Art & Wine Faire, weekly farmers markets, and festive holiday and Halloween celebrations on Eucalyptus Street, all coming together to embody San Carlos’ reputation as the “City of Good Living.”
