Affectionately known as "The City of Good Living", San Carlos has carved out a niche for itself on the mid-Peninsula and is beloved for its bustling downtown and excellent hiking trails.  Charming ranchers dot the streets of its sought after White Oaks and Howard Park neighborhoods in the flats, while homes nestled on the hills offer captivating views of the San Francisco Bay, western mountains, and the picturesque Devonshire Canyon.  Acclaimed schools and a close-knit community complete the picture.

Quality of Life

Some of the distinctive features of San Carlos that residents have come to know and cherish are:

  • The San Carlos Farmers Market shuts down Laurel Street every Sunday from 10am to 2pm, and curated local vendors offer everything from fresh produce to vibrant flowers.
  • Big Canyon Park and Eaton Park provide residents and guests alike with rugged hiking trails and panoramic vistas.
  • Burton Park is enormously popular for its water spray zones and manicured sports fields.
  • The iconic Refuge restaurant has some of our favorite sandwiches in the entire region - don't miss out on their signature Reuben sandwich or their bevy of specialty beers.
