Howard Park and White Oaks are similar in many ways. Both are bordered to the west by Alameda de las Pulgas. Both are located a short walk from downtown. White Oaks’ homes are of the same vintage – most were built between the two World Wars – but are slightly larger. Howard Park counters with walking access to Caltrain, unsurpassed Halloween and Christmas celebrations on Eucalyptus Avenue and the city’s best-known public green space, Burton Park.
Howard Park real estate is defined by quiet, tree-lined residential streets lined with a mixture of English, Mediterranean and Arts & Crafts bungalows. The western edge of the neighborhood includes a few winding roads, like Knoll Drive and Elizabeth Street, whose high-end contemporary homes would be at home west of The Alameda.
Howard Park homes may be modest-sized, but they command maximum-sized prices. While the neighborhood range for recently-sold single-family homes falls between $1.6 and $3.2 million, that works out to over $1,000 per square-foot in a neighborhood with an average home size of approximately 1,800 square feet. Howard Park does have an active condominium market, where sales of one- and two-bedroom units have recently ranged from $800,000 to $1.5 million.
Howard Park’s popularity is due in part to a trend: buyers, especially those with families, leaving the secluded hills for the more pedestrian-friendly flats. As long as people see value in quaint streets, classic homes and a short walk to downtown, this neighborhood will continue to thrive.

The team provided transparency to the entire processes right from the get-go which was very helpful with setting the right expectations. Our favorite was the comprehensive activities calendar and a checklist of to-do’s that helped keeping the chaos organized. Everyone was also very available and prompt in responding to questions and concerns. Definitely made a highly complex and potentially stressful event more manageable.

Even though we have only known Raziel for a year, we feel like he is now part of our family. Buying a home is such a personal process and one that can be very stressful. Throughout the entire process, Raziel always responded quickly, gave awesome recommendations and took a lot of the stress out of having such a unique and complex buying process.

Raziel was very helpful in describing differences between various communities on the peninsula. We had gone to open houses each weekend to explore neighborhoods. When we found the first house that we felt would be perfect for us, we put a bid on it, and did not think we would have a chance but our bid was accepted. Overall, we were very happy with the process.

This was a multiple offer scenario and Raziel was a superstar in strategizing and negotiating the deal. WE GOT IT!!
Fast forward a few years and I still see Raziel a few times a year, whether he is sending a San Carlos real estate market report, throwing a client appreciation event, or stopping by (legitimately) just to say hello! I highly recommend Raziel for any real estate transaction, real estate advice, or for any realtor advice locally or nationally.
