California's a state of big living and big dreams. With a weather that the majority of the nation envies and a number of worldclass cities, the Golden State is exactly that, a golden place to be.

However, much of the major cities of California are a Catch-22. While San Francisco and Los Angeles have international delights, their appeal makes the cost of living in these places substantially higher. As a result, more and more people are moving to California's smaller cities.

Equally charming and beautiful as the major cities of California, the city of Millbrae may seem unassuming as it has a population just over 20,000. However, this city located in scenic San Mateo County within the San Francisco Bay Area is among the state's fastest growing cities.

A multicultural community, Millbrae is located on the Peninsula where it enjoys excellent location. With the San Francisco International Airport residing adjacent to the city, it's just a short drive away from Millbrae to San Francisco and the Silicon Valley.

However, Millbrae is able to stand out on its own. Its excellent school system and beautiful parks makes it a great place to raise a family. Its convenient access to California's major cities and its growing local economy makes it one of the best places to be in if you're just starting a career. Its excellent weather and laid back California atmospher makes it a great place to retire. Millbrae: everything to everyone!
