Hillsborough, CA Apartments for Rent

Located in the San Francisco Bay Area, Hillsborough combines estate-style living with peaceful surroundings. This town, incorporated in 1910, spans just over 6 square miles and features impressive architecture and expansive properties. Local zoning requirements maintain minimum lot sizes of half an acre and houses of at least 2,500 square feet.

While apartments are available in neighboring communities, residents enjoy easy access to Hillsborough's amenities and schools. The town sits 17 miles south of San Francisco, bordered by Burlingame to the north and San Mateo to the east, offering a balance of residential comfort and city accessibility. The Mediterranean climate brings approximately 307 days of sunshine annually, while Interstate 280 provides convenient commuting options. Local points of interest include the historic Carolands mansion, the eye-catching "Flintstone House" visible from Highway 280, and celebrated architectural works by Richard Neutra, Julia Morgan, and Frank Lloyd Wright.
