Yana - Please pay no mind to anything this poster has to say. He/she/it has been a nuisance on this forum who posts the same crap repeatedly, that is only consistent in being wrong about 70% of the time. He's nothing more than an aspiring pseudo-elitist whose mantra is that the only sections of the Earth that matter at all are Palo Alto, Silicon Valley, Greenwich and bits and pieces of Manhattan, SF's Pacific Heights, and parts of West LA. It gets extremely old, and his info is very rarely helpful in any way. So please be advised to disregard his nonsense.

As for the reality, Hillsborough is an extremely wealthy community that shares its lone zip code with Burlingame. I'm not aware of any rentals there at all (maybe right along the border with Burlingame), but its residents primarily utilize Burlingame for walking/shopping, and to a lesser degree San Mateo (depending on which end of Hillsborough they live on). There are no "slums" that Hillsborough shares anything with, as the ignoramus above referred to.
I'm waiting for "hsw" to explain to me why Warren Buffett, the 2nd richest man in America, lives in Omaha of all places. Maybe it's the decent "grub" . I just gave you a rep point!

I know that. He also has a place in Florida he uses during the winter. But he's rich enough to live anywhere he wants to. He could even live next to "hsw" in Palo Alto, Woodside, Portola Valley, West LA or in the Hamptons. Oh wait, I forgot, "hsw" really lives in fantasyland.

To get back to your question, just about anywhere between Burlingame to about San Carlos or Redwood City would be good places to live. The weather is a bit warmer with less fog the further south you go on the peninsula. Hillsborough is a town full of big homes and mansions and not much else. There is no downtown or business area. There are no apartment buildings because the town doesn't want renters (although some people do rent out their homes). As for "walkable", most of the town doesn't have sidewalks. Think: Beverly Hills.

If you want Warren Buffett as a neighbor, you'll have to move to Omaha . On second thought, that might not be worth it. Good luck.

Except the actual Beverly Hills does have a downtown, apartment buildings, and sidewalks.
