Nice coastal town to live in, with expensive housing. 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( Dec 07, 2018) This is a great community to raise your kids. There are 2 elementary schools in the immediate area (3 if you count Farllone View up in Montara, which is 15 minutes north), one middle-school (Cunha Intermediate), and one high school (HMB High). There are several fine dinning estab ...Read More lishments (personal favorite is Pasta Moon) and shopping centers. There are 3 taquerias (Tres Amigos is recommended), and 3 fast food places ("Jersey Joe's" is a coastside original specializing in Philly-style cheese-stakes), and 2 pizza places. The "favorite" sport of the town is soccer. (there are a few leagues for little kids and teens alike) The housing averages $900,000+, but compensate with beautiful architecture. The beach is nearby, while the Montara Trail is 15 miles north. The traffic is bad heading out of town in the evening; especially during the yearly "Pumpkin Festival" in mid-October. Another yearly tradition would be "The Dream Machines", an amazing car-show. Read Less
