Hillsborough

Lakeview

Lakeview is one of the largest neighborhoods in Hillsborough

The neighborhood is located at Hillsborough’s western edge, and according to local lexicon is often referred to as “Upper Hillsborough”. It is also very convenient to Highway 280, and its streets are the gently curved lanes and cul-de-sacs predominant in subdivisions of the latter 20th Century.

There is no lake within Lakeview’s boundaries, but the neighborhood is in proximity to the Crystal Springs Reservoir, a pair of man-made lakes that cover what was once Laguna Grande Lake and the now-submerged resort town of Crystal Springs. Lakeview itself was sparsely populated into the 1950s, when the neighborhood was first subdivided for significant development.

After crossing the $4 million benchmark in 2021, Lakeview real estate continued its upward trajectory in 2022, finishing the year with an average home price of $4.841 million — 11% higher than in 2021. The average price per square foot, which crossed the $1,200 mark in 2021, continued to rise as well, landing at $1,259 for the year, an increase of 4.5% year-over-year. The news wasn’t all rosy for Hillsborough’s busiest real estate market, however; overall sales in Lakeview, while still the highest in Hillsborough, fell by 37.5% in 2022, from 32 in 2021 to 20 last year.

History

Lakeview was built out mostly between 1950 and 1980 – half of the homes sold in 2011 were built between 1971 and 1980 and about a third were constructed during the 1950s – and a few outliers. With its relatively inexpensive property costs, Lakeview attracts its share of buyers looking to “raze and rebuild.”
