Average temperature is around 59--F, so the weather is moderate. With a population of 22,589, Millbrae is a small town. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

I'm a accountant and I've found I have mixed feelings honestly. The community is decent and there's always something going on.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 10 years ago from Boston and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in East. It's average for what you get.
Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in finance. If you're in real estate you might struggle.
People: Generally decent. It took about 10 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: solid. Tons of options if you like farm-to-table.
Hope this helps!.

I've been living here for 10 years and I'd say I have mixed feelings honestly. The cost of living is decent compared to other places I've lived. Overall Would recommend to anyone considering it..

I've lived in Pine Hills for about 6 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from Dallas, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Strong job market in several industries
- The cost of living scene is tough
The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Can feel isolated
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for retirees. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I've been living here for 7 years and I'd say I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The job market is tough compared to other places I've lived. Overall Good luck with whatever you decide..

Hot take but it exceeded my expectations. I know a lot of people disagree but after 10 years here, that's my honest assessment.

As someone who grew up here, it's not perfect but it works for me. A lot has changed in the past few years though. dating scene used to be much affordable but now it's challenging.
