Living in Sunnybrae

Sunnybrae is a quiet, centrally located neighborhood that was one of San Mateo’s first to fully embrace the postwar suburban ideal — a tidy grid of mid-century single-family homes on calm, tree-lined streets. It’s known for offering solid value and a settled, family-friendly feel in the middle of the city.

The location is a big draw: El Camino Real, Hillsdale’s shopping and Caltrain, and downtown San Mateo are all a short distance, and 19th Avenue Park sits right in the neighborhood. For buyers who want a classic San Mateo home with easy access to everything — without a premium-neighborhood price tag — Sunnybrae is a smart choice.
