. Early in its history, San Carlos took on the motto “City of Good Living,” a moniker still used by the city today. The city provides outstanding schools (it was the first city to open a charter school in California), provides excellent community services for both youths and seniors, and offers recreational and educational activities for all ages. San Carlos gives its residents the feeling of a small town with its picturesque neighborhoods comprised of unique and beautiful San Carlos homes, while still maintaining its thriving industrial district located in the eastern part of the city. This city also maintains a quaint downtown that supports a mix of excellent restaurants, unique shops, and its Laurel Avenue has become a popular Bay Area destination. With a low crime rate and viable transportation options, San Carlos homes are popular properties for Bay Area buyers.
