If you’ve ever wondered why San Carlos is nicknamed “The City of Good Living,” this walking tour says it all. Nestled in the heart of the Mid-Peninsula, San Carlos brings together the charm of a close-knit community, unbeatable weather, and a bustling downtown packed with local favorites.
Here’s what makes this town a standout — and why so many buyers are eyeing San Carlos as their next home base.
It starts at the San Carlos Caltrain Station, a commuter’s dream that connects you to SF and Silicon Valley. And the weather? Let’s just say mid-70s and sunshine is pretty much a year-round thing here.
Whether you’re biking with the kids, strolling to dinner, or heading into the city for work, San Carlos makes every part of life feel easy.
From old-school classics to global flavors, the downtown strip is loaded with options:
You’ll also find deep dish at Blue Line Pizza, sweet treats from SusieCakes, and sandwiches worth the hype at Lou’s Café.
Love walkability? Wheeler Plaza offers newer condo living with direct access to shops, restaurants, and Caltrain. Built in 2020, it features 170+ units and public parking — ideal for buyers wanting a low-maintenance lifestyle with big-city convenience.
Many downtowns saw long-term vacancies after COVID — but not Laurel. This corridor filled up fast. From House of Bagels to Shiki Bistro, Boba Guys to the Downtown Farmers Market (every Sunday), there’s always something happening here.
With parts now pedestrian-only, it’s even more walkable than ever — perfect for lazy weekend brunches or sunset strolls.
Let’s make a plan! Whether you're looking for a downtown condo or a quiet single-family home nearby, our team at Rise Homes is just a message away.
