11 Lilly ln, San carlos
11 Lilly Lane occupies a hillside setting in San Carlos, a Peninsula city known for its established residential character and proximity to both bay and ocean corridors. The address sits within a car-dependent enclave, surrounded by open-space preserves and neighborhood parks that define the rhythm of daily life here. San Carlos balances a suburban scale with access to regional infrastructure—Stanford University lies sixteen minutes south by car, San Francisco International Airport twenty-one minutes north. The setting offers the quietude of a wooded residential street with the practical advantage of commute options to employment centers throughout the Bay Area.
San Carlos unfolds along the bay side of the Peninsula, bordered by Pulgas Ridge Open Space Preserve to the west and a network of neighborhood parks—Vista, Crestview, and Pyrola—that anchor its residential blocks. The walk score of 6 reflects the area's reliance on the automobile, typical of mid-Peninsula communities developed in the postwar era. Downtown San Francisco sits fifty minutes north by car; Stanford University sixteen minutes south. The public-school pathway—Heather Elementary, Mariposa, Tierra Linda Middle, and Carlmont High—draws families seeking consistency and proximity, with each campus earning a GreatSchools rating of 9 or 10.
- The public-school sequence here—Heather (K–3), Mariposa (4–5), Tierra Linda (6–8), and Carlmont High (9–12)—holds GreatSchools ratings of 9 or 10, with all four campuses within 1.3 miles of the property.
- Pulgas Ridge Open Space Preserve, part of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, offers trailhead access within the immediate neighborhood for hiking and ridge-line vistas.
- San Carlos sits equidistant between San Francisco International Airport (21 minutes) and Stanford University (16 minutes), positioning residents within reach of both international travel and the Stanford campus employment corridor.
Walk Score® rates an address from 0–100 by how easily everyday errands — groceries, coffee, dining, school pickup — can be done on foot. 50+ means some errands can be walked, 70+ means most can, and 90+ is a rare walker's paradise. Transit and Bike scores read the same way for public transportation and cycling.

Schools shown are the closest rated options within five miles. Attendance boundaries change; always verify enrollment eligibility directly with the school district.
