11 lilly ln, san carlos
11 Lilly Lane sits in San Carlos, a Peninsula community flanked by open space and residential hillsides. The street address places the property within reach of Pulgas Ridge Open Space Preserve and a cluster of neighborhood parks — Crestview, Vista, and Pyrola — that define the rhythm of local life. The setting is car-dependent, with a Walk Score of 6, reflecting the topography and spacing typical of San Carlos residential enclaves. The home is positioned within a mile of Heather Elementary and Carlmont High School, both highly rated, and a short drive from the regional amenities that anchor mid-Peninsula living.
San Carlos occupies a central position on the Peninsula, equidistant from San Francisco and San Jose, with Stanford University sixteen minutes by car. The drive to San Francisco International Airport takes twenty-one minutes; Downtown San Francisco is fifty minutes north. The terrain here is marked by ridgelines and preserved open space, particularly Pulgas Ridge, which offers trail access and long views over the Bay. The immediate area is anchored by schools — Heather, Mariposa, Tierra Linda, and Carlmont form a public pathway rated 9 or 10 by GreatSchools — and by parks that serve as gathering points for the surrounding blocks.
- The San Carlos public school pathway — Heather (K–3), Mariposa (4–5), Tierra Linda (6–8), and Carlmont (9–12) — receives consistently high ratings and serves families within a mile of Lilly Lane.
- Pulgas Ridge Open Space Preserve, managed by the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, provides direct trail access and undeveloped buffer to the east.
- Commute times are measurable: Stanford University is sixteen minutes by car, San Francisco International Airport twenty-one minutes, and Downtown San Francisco fifty minutes north on 101 or 280.
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.
Ratings are GreatSchools Summary Ratings on a 1–10 scale, based on test scores, student progress, and college readiness — 8–10 is above average, 5–7 average, 1–4 below average. Schools shown are the closest rated options within five miles. Attendance boundaries change; always verify enrollment eligibility directly with the school district.
