Highlands, located between Millbrae Avenue and Skyline Boulevard, is a hillside and residential Millbrae neighborhood with winding streets and broad Bay views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Millbrae Avenue corridor near El Camino Real, where espresso counters, small dining rooms, and everyday storefronts set a steady, local rhythm. Homes lean mid-century and late-20th-century, with split-level profiles, decks, and terraced yards that follow the slope. Trails and open space at nearby Sweeney Ridge add a nature-forward counterpoint to the built landscape. Millbrae BART and Caltrain keep commutes grounded in rail rather than parking lots. Community touchstones include the Millbrae Pancake House, Green Hills Country Club, and the Millbrae Museum.
