San Mateo

San Mateo

Of all the mid-Peninsula cities, San Mateo has the most distinct and named neighborhoods, with most aspiring residents knowing exactly which part of town suits them. From the historical San Mateo Park neighborhood, where there is not one straight street and capturing a non-corner lot is the typical preference to the initially value opportunity Parkside neighborhood experiencing a 100k increase in market price over the course of 4 weeks in 2024. Walkability, amenities and schools tend to be the most critical factors for San Mateo searches. But if a view property is what you are seeking, then 41st and 42nd Street in the San Mateo Knolls area has full 180° San Francisco through Bay views. Choosing to be closer to Burlingame or Belmont can also be a search factor with neighborhoods such as San Mateo Village, Baywood, Aragon, Sugarloaf, Sunnybrae and Bay Meadows being extremely popular options. Bay Meadows is an extremely convenient planned community that was developed in 2010 - primarily filled with 3 bed townhomes that is surrounded by all the amenity comforts which make it terribly difficult for residents to move away, whether they going from renting to owning or upsizing. And not to be forgotten for Eichler fans, is the one of the largest developments (outside of Palo Alto) in the San Mateo Highlands neighborhood which houses 650+ Eichers ranging from the classic single-story design to the X-100 steel framed and the "Life House". San Mateo Highlands residents also have exclusive use of tennis courts, a swimming pool, a fitness center, and organized recreational programs through the Highlands Recreation Center, as well as a very near shopping plaza. Finally, San Mateo downtown is one of the most diverse and food friendly areas with multiples of everything, so if the city's housing inventory and its downtown have anything in common is that it's not easy to make decisions, so we are here to make that just a bit simpler.
