MILLBRAE CA

The City of Millbrae is located on the Peninsula, 15 miles south of San Francisco. The boundaries of this city extend roughly from the Bayshore Freeway on the east to Skyline Boulevard on the west. This distance is approximately 1.7 miles. Enhancing the quality of life in a shared community, providing great services, encouraging community engagement, fostering economic growth, and embracing cultural diversity in a safe environment is the foundation of Millbrae. Millbrae operates as a General Law City, providing for a Council/Manager form of government that clearly distinguishes the legislative power of the City Council from the administrative powers of the City Manager.

Millbrae has a reputation for having some of the best schools in the San Francisco Bay Area, despite enduring years of state budget cuts. Millbrae School District oversees four public elementary schools (Meadows, Green Hills, Lomita Park, and Spring Valley) and one middle school (Taylor Middle School, named after the family that owned land along Taylor Boulevard prior to the city being laid out). MSD is state-funded and does not receive local property taxes, and has endured budget cuts from the state since 2007. Millbrae’s economy is driven mainly by its long strips of hotels. Because of its close proximity to San Francisco International Airport and to the city of San Francisco, and its advanced transit center that can connect people to all major cities/events in the Bay Area, many tourists opt to stay in Millbrae. Its downtown is mainly along El Camino Real and Broadway Avenue. There are many small shops, restaurants, a Safeway, Walgreens, Trader Joe’s, Dress Barn, Office Depot, and Orchard Supply Hardware.
