Green Hills Millbrae Homes and Neighborhood Guide
Millbrae neighborhood guide
Green Hills is a residential neighborhood in north central Millbrae, centered around Green Hills Country Club, Green Hills Drive and Ludeman Lane. The neighborhood takes its name from the club and from Green Hills Elementary School.
The country club opened in 1930 with a course designed by Alister MacKenzie, and it remains a green belt where natural creeks still flow above ground.
With the fairways as a backdrop and Green Hills Elementary nearby, it is one of Millbrae's most recognizable neighborhoods.
