The vibe
Residential-only luxury. Half-acre minimum lots, mature canopy, three private country clubs. Burlingame-adjacent.
Who loves it
Buyers with $4M+ wanting Peninsula school + half-acre lots, less rarefied than Atherton.
What it isn't
Walkable. Same as Atherton — drive to everything.

Insider note from Roger
North Hillsborough trades fastest. Lower South + Hayne / Tobin areas have the trees + lots. Country Club estates have the prestige.
