San Mateo Park blends century-old garden-suburb design with day-to-day convenience. Laid out by landscape legend John McLaren, its curving lanes, landmark oaks, and eclectic architecture—Arts & Crafts, Tudor, and Mediterranean—create a residential canopy unlike anywhere else in San Mateo. Positioned between Burlingame and Hillsborough, you’re minutes from boutiques and cafés on Burlingame Avenue (burlingamedowntown.org) and from picnics, tea garden blooms, and community events in Central Park (cityofsanmateo.org).
Family-friendly credentials run deep: neighborhood students commonly attend San Mateo Park Elementary (sanmateopark.smfcsd.net), Borel Middle School (borel.smfcsd.net), and San Mateo High School (smuhsd.org/smhs). Weekends stretch easily, from biking the Bay Trail or launching a kayak at Coyote Point Recreation Area (parks.smcgov.org/coyote-point-recreation-area) to artful afternoons at Filoli’s historic house and gardens (filoli.org), with the broader delights of San Mateo County at your doorstep.
Commuters appreciate the nearby San Mateo Caltrain Station (caltrain.com/stations/san-mateo-station) and swift access to 101 and 280, while downtown dining, theaters, and the library remain comfortably close. Through the seasons, the neighborhood’s mature trees provide a living backdrop—spring blooms, summer shade, and golden fall color—underscoring why San Mateo Park feels both timeless and practical.
