Millbrae Overview
Located just west of the scenic San Francisco Bay region, Millbrae is a charming slice of west coast life. Home to around 25K residents and boasting an inviting ambiance all its own, this California city might just be one of its best-kept secrets.
What is the history of Millbrae?
Taking its namesake origins from a Scottish term for 'rolling hills', Millbrae was established in the mid-1800s. With a local economy dominated by dairy farming, agriculture and porcelain manufacturing, this proud city experienced a 'boom' during the 1950s - 70s, with a number of schools, museums and other local hot spots seeing completion. Today, Millbrae apartments cater to a wide range of locals, from college students to retirees, artists to young professionals.
How is the weather in Millbrae?
Boasting warm yet dry summers and mild, wetter winters, weather in this California city is very pleasant for the most part. While west coast fog is a typical visitor, much of the year is highlighted by temperatures in the 7s and rarely falling below 50.
How do I get around town?
While many living in Millbrae rentals claim ownership of at least one personal car or truck, the local BART rail system is very well represented in this west coast city. Direct passage into the heart of San Francisco is a relative breeze, taxis and ride sharing options like Lyft are commonplace, and bicycling remains a popular pasttime. The San Fran Airport is also just a hop and skip away, offering numerous daily flights both domestic and international.
What is the Millbrae commute like?
traffic congestion is known the world over for good reason. Many commuters prefer the BART rail system for this very reason, although traffic tends to move brisly in and around the city limits proper. Interstate 280 lies to the east of most Millbrae apartments for rent, making it yet another convenient option for travel.
What are the local media outlets?
The 'Millbrae Sun' was the city's very first print news outlet, and the 'San Francisco Chroncile' remains a popular read in many a Millbrae apartment kitchen. Radio leans towards traditional formats such as modern rock, talk news and even jazz standards, with most broadcast television options reached with ease thanks to numerous San Fran-based affiliates.

Never far away from the gorgeous coastal beauty of California and offering unparallelled access to the heart of San Francisco, Millbrae rentals are an excellent way to discover the magic of the west coast. Local schools consistently earn high marks, and the city's close proximity to the San Fran Airport has yielded an abundance of hotels, restaurants and other amenities, all within easy reach of most Millbrae apartments.
What Millbrae landmarks should I see?
Walk past the 16 Miles House, which dates all the way back to 1872 and was one of the city's first saloons, or take a gander at the Southern Pacific Depot, a living monument to Millbrae's railroad past. The 42-room Mills Mansion is an impressive local landmark, easily reached from most Millbrae apartments, and the Massolo Building boasts impressive architectural flourishes and dates back to 1932.
What is there to do around Millbrae?
Take a leisurely walk along the gorgeous trails of Bayfront Park, ideal for bird watching or some fishing, or grab a coffe in the relaxed European-inspired ambiance of Cafe Roma, both within easy reach of many Millbrae apartments for rent. The Millbrae History Museums is an excellent spot to visit on a rainy day, and breakfast doesn't get much more epic than the servings and conversation at the Millbrae Pancake House.
Any annual festivals or Millbrae events to know?
The Annual Art and Wine Fest is a huge hit in the region, drawing large crowds every year, and the California Rum Festival is yet another nearby celebration.
Where are the nearby vacation spots?
Dive into the cultural excitement of San Francisco, or spend a weekend enjoying the nearby wine country, both easy commutes from most Millbrae rentals. Head south to the beaches and seafood eateries of San Diego, or head north to the mountain camping options of Oregon, the choices for relaxation are seemingly endless.
