Living in Sterling Park

Sterling Park is Colma’s one true residential neighborhood — roughly 300 homes holding about 90% of the town’s residents, bounded by Hillside Boulevard on the east, El Camino Real on the west, and B and F Streets to the north and south. In a town famous for its cemeteries, this is the small, friendly enclave where people actually live, with its own neighborhood association and a real small-town feel.

The housing mix is eclectic — a blend of single-family and multi-family homes, some of them relocated here during the construction of Interstate 280 in the 1960s. Daily life centers on the Sterling Park Recreation Center on F Street, and the location is hard to beat: Colma BART, I-280, and the shops along El Camino and Serramonte are all minutes away.

Buyer Profile

Sterling Park is a small neighborhood, so homes come up for sale infrequently — single-family houses generally trade in roughly the $950K–$1.3M range (as of mid-2026), with condition, size, and lot driving the spread. Because turnover is so low, the only reliable number is a valuation for your specific home. Ask us for one.

With only a few hundred homes, Sterling Park rarely sees much on the market at once — which makes timing and pricing especially important. The Primavera team can provide a precise, hands-on valuation for any Sterling Park home.

Schools & Getting Around

Sterling Park is served by the Jefferson Elementary and Jefferson Union High School districts, with neighborhood schools and Daly City campuses close by. Transit is a major draw: the Colma BART station is right next door, I-280 is moments away, El Camino Real and SamTrans buses run the length of town, and downtown San Francisco is a short, direct ride.
