San Carlos is blessed with great weather throughout the year. All of North, South and Easy bay are easily accessible making our daily commute very easy. The neighborhood has quaint downtown full of restaurants with excellent food and ambience. Even the new apartments being built by the Laurel street and the Caltrain station are aesthetically pleasing. SC is full of Redwood and other large trees. Edgewood park is close by and great for hikes and picnics. Trader Joe's, Lucky, Home depot, TJ Max, etc are close by. Access to highly rated schools, downtown book shops, SC Youth center makes it perfect for kids too!
Equidistant from SF, South and East Bays opening up a lot more job options compared to the rest of the bay, Beautiful downtown with wide range of restaurants. Johnston's Saltbox, Pazzo, Cusinett, My Breakfast House, Susie Cakes, Boba guys, Red Hot Chilli Pepper are some of my favorites!
Extremely safe, residential neighborhoods with great schools. White Oaks Elementary and Central Middle School both have 10/10 ratings.
Strong community feel. Neighbors are super friendly and helpful. Charming homes with distinctive styles. Trader Joe's, Lucky (supermarket), Home Depot, Tesla Supercharger are all close by. Many local book stores with lots of weekend activities for kids. Sunday farmers' market is something to look forward too.

An average place, with average people. It's definitely Brady Bunch suburbia. I am moving out, back to Marin County. The truth is, to afford a mediocre lifestyle, you have to work all of the time. The homes are overpriced with often agro neighbors, who I suspect believe they're getting the short end of the stick. The schools are ok, but our now high schoolers prefer the Marin schools. Lots of petty theft and road raging going on (think: rat race). Mostly "middle class" or working class, which is great, but their is a vibe of bitterness.
