History

It was here, in the late 1800s, that Francis Newlands built five “cottages” for wealthy San Franciscans to use as their weekend homes. When the cottages didn’t sell, Newlands used them as the basis for the new country club, which later became Ground Zero for the movement that culminated in the incorporation of Hillsborough on May 5, 1910.

Today’s Country Club Manor is not unlike its next-door neighbor, Carolands: a hilly neighborhood whose housing inventory is a mixture of post-war and post-modern. Once home to a number of Hillsborough’s original grand estates, the neighborhood was subdivided in the 1950s and re-developed with four- and five-bedroom mostly single-story homes whose exterior facades reflected both the post-war trend toward casual living and the more traditional styling cues of the area’s first wave of residences. It’s not unusual among Country Club Manor real estate to find a New England-influenced Cape Cod home sitting adjacent to a mid-century California rancher.
