Belle Air Park residents enjoy walking distance access to downtown shops, restaurants and the new CalTrain station and live a mere five minutes by car from San Francisco International Airport. They live in a variety of homes, including post-war bungalows and century-old cottages. It’s not unusual to find in Belle Air Park a single block comprised of homes that wildly differ from each other, especially given the amount of upgrading and remodeling that has gone on since the district’s inception. The majority of homes, though, are two- and three-bedroom abodes, one or two stories high, built between 1940 and 1960. Homes here sell for less than the citywide median, are often smaller than the citywide median and are more likely to be renter-occupied than the norm. Recent sales in Belle Air Park show homes selling for between $625,000 and $840,000 with a median sales price of $780,000 and a median square footage of 940. Homes are generally on 2,500 or 5,000 square foot lots.

History
Though the majority of homes in Belle Air Park were built between 1940 and 1960, the history of this two-piece neighborhood goes back much further than that. “Belle Air,” built on one-time swampland at the mouth of San Bruno Creek, was the second subdivision in San Bruno, established by Alfred Wiehe & Company and platted in 1905, shortly after the real estate firm of George A. Hensley, A.H. Greene & Company subdivided San Bruno Park. A quick one-two punch (the 1906 earthquake and the 1907 completion of the Southern Pacific Railroad’s Bayshore Cutoff), which skirted San Bruno Mountain, led to quick immediate growth. According to Roy Cloud’s 1928 account of those times, “in a very short time the homes became so numerous” that fledgeling San Bruno required its own school district. The efforts of the West Shore Realty Company, which offered free train rides to those wishing to view property at Belle Air Park, didn’t hurt.
