The city of Brisbane is an unexpected gem tucked into the hillside of the San Bruno Mountain. Brisbane, a small city of just over 4,000 residents, is quite the opposite of its big city neighbors. The strong sense of community and small town feel could almost make you forget that bustling San Francisco is so close by.

Brisbane, dubbed the City of Stars for its longstanding holiday tradition of illuminating large and visible stars on residences and other structures, is home to several businesses and headquarters. In fact, it’s believed that the population doubles within working hours each day. The city is also known quite prominently for it’s Class A office building, Dakin Building, whose appearance is not only structurally unique, but also award-winning.

But work isn’t all that goes on here in Brisbane. Residents enjoy a proud, family-oriented environment year-round, aided well by the city’s great weather. Neighbors are friendly and inviting, and spend plenty of time together at city events at the community parks. Brisbane has established itself as a clean, safe, and fun place for children to grow up away from larger cities nearby. If you’re planning to establish an airbnb in the area, you can hire cleaning services before putting it out for rent.
