Hillsborough

REAL ESTATE • On the Market

With zero commercial zoning across its 6.2 square miles, the unincorporated town of Hillsborough feels far from the buzz of San Francisco, even though it's just 15 minutes away. Its twisty roads, rolling landscape, and multiple bubbling brooks provide solid separation and privacy. It’s an area for folks who are done with the indignities of urban density but maintain an appreciation for the city’s culture and lifestyle. Or as one resident puts it: “It’s where you move when you grow up.”

The median sale price of a home in Hillsborough was $6M in January, up 41% year-over-year, Redfin reports. Here, three listings for those considering the quiet(er) life:
