San Mateo Park is one of the most exclusive neighborhoods on the entire Peninsula — a historic residential park of large, architecturally distinguished estates set among mature trees and gently curving streets. Laid out in the early 1900s according to the “City Beautiful” movement, it was designed to favor open space, greenery, and grandeur, and it has kept that character for more than a century.
Homes here range from classic period estates to grand modern residences, on some of the largest and most private lots in the city. Despite the seclusion, it sits just north of downtown San Mateo and near the Burlingame line, keeping shopping, dining, schools, and transit close. It’s the definition of prestige on the Peninsula.
