San Francisco’s small bayside town with great location to outdoor recreation

Brisbane is a gorgeous coastal town between San Francisco and South San Francisco, nestled along the San Francisco Bay. This small area is right next to the scenic San Bruno Mountain State and Country Park. Brisbane is mostly residential with many industrial, manufacturing, and home improvement companies in the area.

With quick access to the beauty of land and sea, residents take full advantage and spend their free time enjoying the outdoors. You can find locals taking in picturesque views of the city and the bay at San Bruno Mountain, boating at the marina near downtown Brisbane, or taking a walk at Park Sierra Point, a waterfront park. After a long day of fun, enjoy a meal at one of the locally-owned eateries in downtown along Old Country Road. Less than 15 minutes from San Francisco, South Francisco and the San Francisco International Airport, Brisbane is also a great choice for commuters. Discover your next house or apartment in Brisbane if you want access to the best of the Bay Area with a small-town feel.
