In addition to its peaceful atmosphere, beautiful setting, and proximity to San Francisco and the rest of Silicon Valley, Hillsborough has been recognized on a county, state, national and international level for excellence in education. Since Hillsborough has no commercial zoning, there are no businesses located within the town limits. In fact, the only non-residential properties here are a park, a golf course and country club, four public and three private schools, and town and county government facilities. Not to worry, however, because neighboring Belmont, Burlingame, San Mateo, Millbrae, and San Carlos provide every opportunity to meet your shopping, dining, and entertainment needs.
