"Born and Raised, but not a big fan"

Well I love Magnolia Ave because I was born and raised there; however, it is nosy, busy and there is hardly any parking. The location is perfect because it is centrally located; however, Millbrae isn't that big, so it is pretty hard not to be centrally located. There are cute little bars around the corner on El Camino (Fiddler's Green and Finn McCool's), there are gyms (long) walking distance or short drives away...they are trying to bring Millbrae downtown up so it is kind of cute, Jamba Juice, Starbucks, Pete's, Safeway...very close by! You can definitely raise a family here, but make sure there is a yard! Most of the homes on my street do.

Karen It is a busy street, so there is a lot of car noise and we are right by the airport (on stormy nights the planes come right over my house)...BUT Millbrae commissioned soundproof windows...so if it isn't a hot night and you sleep with your windows closed it isn't that bad! I am actually used to it...I am more aware of the noise when people stay the night and question every noise!
