San Carlos is a wonderful community twenty-five miles south of San Francisco, reachable by both Highway 101 and I-280. The neighborhoods are friendly and well established with mature oak trees lining the streets. There are no “undesirable” neighborhoods in San Carlos, as each one anchors a thriving downtown area. The San Carlos Airport houses The Hiller Museum, which offers a fascinating look at the history of aviation through the aircraft collection of Stanley Hiller, the father of the modern helicopter.
