Hillsborough is an exclusive, residential town nestled in the hills of San Mateo County, just minutes from San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Known for its privacy, prestige, and palatial estates, Hillsborough is one of the most sought-after addresses on the San Francisco Peninsula—offering a serene, secluded environment while being centrally located within the Bay Area.
Strictly residential by design, Hillsborough has no commercial zoning, which preserves its quiet, estate-like atmosphere. Instead, the town is made up of tree-canopied streets, rolling hills, and expansive lots—many of which are home to grand mansions, architecturally significant homes, and custom-built estates. Properties often feature lush landscaping, gated entries, and sweeping views of the Bay or surrounding mountains.
Hillsborough is known for its commitment to preserving natural beauty and architectural integrity. The town enforces strict building codes and zoning regulations to maintain the aesthetic and low-density character of the area. The result is a community that feels elegant, private, and distinctly residential.
Despite its quiet setting, Hillsborough is just minutes from downtown San Mateo and Burlingame, where residents enjoy upscale shopping, fine dining, and cultural amenities. It also offers convenient access to Highways 280 and 101, Caltrain, and SFO Airport, making it easy to travel throughout the Bay Area and beyond.
Families are drawn to Hillsborough for its top-rated public and private schools, including Crocker Middle School, and nearby elite institutions such as Crystal Springs Uplands School and The Nueva School. The community also boasts beautiful parks, hiking trails, and proximity to golf courses like the Burlingame Country Club.
With its exceptional homes, quiet luxury, and central Peninsula location, Hillsborough remains one of the most prestigious and private residential communities in Northern California—offering a refined lifestyle for those seeking elegance, space, and serenity.
