The Town of Hillsborough is a tony upscale residential community located in San Mateo County, California.


It is west of Highway 101 and El Camino Real and east of Highway 280 within a short commute to San Francisco and only minutes from San Francisco International Airport.
There is a lot to brag about in Hillsborough - the home of Bing Crosby. Some of the most exclusive homes in San Mateo County are found here. Much like Atherton to the south, both income and housing prices in Hillsborough far exceed the national averages. Through carefully considered development guidelines and zoning, the Town of Hillsborough endeavors to retain the rural country ambience, typified by scenic winding roads, spaciousness and lush vegetation.
In addition to its rural charm and quiet atmosphere envisioned by its founders, Hillsborough offers excellent public education and outstanding police, fire and emergency services.
