Millbrae’s Capuchino neighborhood offers commerce and convenience

The residential streets of Capuchino sit west of the San Francisco International Airport and a busy commercial strip lined with popular neighborhood restaurants. “It has one of the lower price ranges in the area,” says Disen Cai, a real estate agent and owner of Disen Cai Real Estate Group with Keller Williams. “It’s one of those transitional neighborhoods.” The neighborhood surrounds its namesake high school, and besides competitive pricing, it offers proximity to nearby green spaces, both large and small.

Michelin Guide-approved Szechuan cuisine

Restaurants and local businesses line El Camino Real, the main thoroughfare along the neighborhood's easter edge. The Millbrae Pancake House has been making pancakes and waffles from scratch since 1959, and diners can enjoy the restaurant’s all-day breakfast and lunch menu in its homey wood-paneled dining room and nostalgic Windsor chairs. Just a few blocks away, Yummy Szechuan’s head chef has garnered Michelin Guide attention for dishes inspired by the flavor-rich and often spicy cuisine of the southwestern Sichuan region of China. Family-style meals and handmade noodles make their way around a lazy Susan in a Spanish Mission Revival building with a bright red storefront and Chinese lanterns. Andrea’s Market, a neighborhood grocery store, is nearby.

Quick access to the San Francisco International Airport

El Camino Real is the neighborhood's main way to get around the region. It continues north and merges with Interstate 280 near downtown San Francisco, which is about 15 miles away from Capuchino. The SamTrans ECR bus route (ECR being short for El Camino Real) connects the neighborhood to the Daly City Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station in the north and the Palo Alto Transit Center in the south, which has a Caltrain commuter rail line connection. Less than 3 miles away, the San Francisco International Airport has more than 130 direct flights to destinations including Seoul, Dubai, Paris and a number of U.S. cities. While the airport is close, most homes are far enough away not to be affected by its noise.

International Baccalaureate education within walking distance

Children may start their K-12 journeys at Green Hills Elementary School before moving on to Taylor Middle School, where they can explore electives like architecture, coding and journalism during the school day. Teenagers can walk to Capuchino High School, which offers both International Baccalaureate (IB) course certificates and a full IB Diploma program. All three schools earn an A-minus from Niche. Career and technical education programs at Capuchino High include digital photography, network engineering and culinary arts, among others. Students can also explore their extracurricular interests in after-school activities like video production club, podcast club and microorganism club.

Palm trees shade 1940s homes in Capuchino

Midcentury modern and Spanish Mission Revival influences can be seen in the 1940s split-level and ranch-style homes that make up the neighborhood. Leafy palm trees and various other foliage provide temporary shade for neighbors getting steps in and teenagers walking to school. “It’s one of the neighborhoods with the most openings in Millbrae, which is a low inventory area,” Cai says. Recent sales have ranged between $1.5 million and $3.75 million, which is low compared to San Francisco’s tonier neighborhoods around it.

Public parks and private golf courses surround Capuchino

San Bruno City Park, the city’s largest green space, is about a mile north of the neighborhood. Thirteen picnic areas are scattered throughout, along with two playgrounds, three baseball diamonds, four tennis courts and a trail that leads to the nearby Junipero Serra Park. South of the neighborhood, a playground, a swing set and chess tables sit under trees that bloom with delicate pink flowers on the slope of Green Hills Park. The Green Hills Country Club boasts an 18-hole course designed by notable golf architect Alister MacKenzie and has a vantage of the San Francisco Bay. Established in 1930 as a social and athletic institution, membership fees include access to outdoor tennis courts, a heated outdoor pool and an active social calendar.
