BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) is building a very large station with huge parking garage, but we enjoy Caltrain.
In Millbrae you will need a car as the hills are very steep. Be careful when driving as people like to park their cars on the curb instead of their driveways and many roads become de facto one way. People will also regularly park their autos next to stop signs, adding to the difficulties at intersections. Stop signs are hidden. (SEE PHOTO)

Hidden Stop Signs (Look carefully and imagine you are driving 30 mph) HINT: Behind the second tree to your right and barely visible.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: A light jacket is a must after dark. Although during the day it is usually about 70F, at night temps dip to the 50's F year round. Millbrae is almost never under fog.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: The Walgreen's Drug Store on Broadway or Safeway Supermarket carry just about all you might need/want. The Walgreens even sells tourist items like postcards, ashtrays, placemats, keychains, etc. with a San Francisco theme at prices much less than in the tourist traps.

Taylor Elem. School, Normally a primary school would not be a tourist attraction, but the impressive California Mission style architecture makes the location worthy of a glance. This place looks more like a country club than a school!!!!

Favorite thing: Millbrae, although full of houses and booming with wealthy Asian families, still maintains a small town atmosphere. You can visit city hall and talk to the city officials. The city government will actually get to know you and remember your name. Be advised that if you plan to live in Millbrae *Deed restrictions are strictly enforced*
