Aragon blends classic architectural character with everyday convenience in the heart of San Mateo. Streets lined with 1920s–1940s Spanish Revival, Tudor, and storybook-style homes give the area a timeless feel, while proximity to downtown dining and cafes keeps weekends lively. The neighborhood sits just west of El Camino Real, near sister enclave Baywood, and within easy reach of both Burlingame and Belmont for additional shopping and recreation across San Mateo County.
Education is a headline attraction. Many families choose Aragon for its access to acclaimed schools, including Aragon High School and elementary and middle options within the San Mateo-Foster City School District. Weekdays feel streamlined with quick commutes via Caltrain and nearby highways, while weekends often begin at Central Park’s serene Japanese Garden or with a browse through the stacks at the San Mateo Public Library. Retail therapy and dining are close at hand, from boutique-lined downtown blocks to the expansive Hillsdale Shopping Center.
Residents value Aragon’s strong sense of community—block parties, park playdates, and school events create easy connections—and its walkability to green spaces, coffee spots, and services. Whether you’re prioritizing schools, a graceful housing stock, or a central Peninsula location, Aragon offers a thoughtful balance of calm streets and urban access.
