Living in Capuchino
Capuchino was once part of a broad stretch of flower and vegetable farms in west Millbrae, subdivided and built up in the years after World War II, mostly between 1946 and 1956. Three-bedroom ranches fill the flatter streets, while homes farther west, built at the same time, have often been expanded and remodeled, with some new construction mixed in, and many have bay views. About 10 to 14 homes sell here each year, and prices have climbed: the 12-month median is around $2.18M, and 2026 sales so far have averaged about 111% of asking.
Parking & walkability: Most homes have a garage and a driveway, and the residential streets are quiet and easy to park on. The hills make it more of a driving neighborhood, but downtown Millbrae and the BART and Caltrain station are a few minutes away, and Highway 280 is close by.

Capuchino on the map
Borders are built lot by lot from the county's property lines and where homes have been listed (MLS neighborhood codes), and stay inside official city limits (dashed), so a home or two along an edge may differ from official MLS lines.
