The jewel in Parkside’s crown in Parkside Aquatic Park, a waterfront public green space offering a beach, swimming in Marina Lagoon, volleyball courts, a playground, picnicking and San Mateo’s only public boat launch. Parkside (the neighborhood) is slightly less dense than San Mateo as a whole, with a population skewing about two years younger but 14 percent more likely to be married than that of the overall city. Scattered among its modest ranch homes are a few significantly expanded and even brand-new homes, the latter built by owners looking to capitalize on the neighborhood's convenient (Parkside is bordered on two sides by Highways 101 and 92), waterfront location.

South of Van Buren Street is Parkside, a post-war neighborhood where single-family homes are slightly more expensive than their neighbors to the north. Here you’re more likely to find Parkside homes arranged on the quiet, protosuburban street that surrounds Parkside Elementary School. The small neighborhood is bordered by Seal Slough, across which lays a stretch of Highway 92 and Foster City.

Raziel has a formula for buying a house that we listened to and it worked for us. He's a genuinely good human being and is not in the market to solely make money. He has a clear focus on community, he is extremely familiar with the neighborhoods, and has lived in this area his whole life. No realtor can find you your perfect home, but Raziel’s knowledge gives you the optimal chance at getting a house. We would pick Raziel over other realtors not only because of his high success rate, but because your relationship with him will not stop after you sign the last document.
