Nestled on the slopes of San Bruno Mountain, Brisbane is a small city of 4,800 residents located immediately south of San Francisco on the Peninsula. The City also has a large industrial area that increases the daytime service population to approximately 12,000. Brisbane enjoys a sunny climate, fine views of the Bay, and a diverse, small-town atmosphere, with easy access to all the amenities of the metropolitan areas. The residents highly value the unique charm and natural beauty of the mountain setting and a close-knit community. Brisbane is facing the challenge of dealing with future growth in a positive way that will enhance and preserve its small-town character.
