Brisbane, CA

Brisbane is a small San Mateo County city just south of San Francisco, tucked onto the lower slopes of San Bruno Mountain above the bay. The setting is the standout: hillside neighborhoods, city views, open space, and quick access to both San Francisco and the Peninsula. Brisbane also has a practical business side at Sierra Point, including office buildings such as the Dakin Building. It is much smaller and quieter than its location suggests, with San Bruno Mountain and its parks giving the city a distinct edge-of-the-city feel.
