San Mateo Village includes the area between El Camino Real and the Bayshore Freeway, McClellan Avenue and East 40th Avenue. For decades, San Mateo Village real estate occupied a niche at the entry level of San Mateo. In recent years, that has changed. The neighborhood's location, convenience and inventory of well-preserved, updated, mid-market mid-century homes have made it a favored destination for first-time and mid-level buyers, as well as downsizing empty nesters, and is considered an excellent “starter” home neighborhood. Increased popularity has meant rising prices for San Mateo Village real estate. Homes for sale now cluster around a small range of prices, selling almost exclusively recently for between $1.3 and $1.6 million.

Schools & History

History

Between the beginning of World War II and 1950, San Mateo’s population grew from less than 20,000 to almost 50,000. To accommodate its booming citizenry, San Mateo began annexing land to the south, including several hundred acres of the former McClellan Ranch. Some of this land became Bay Meadows Racetrack. Located north of Hillsdale Boulevard and built on the site of an airfield, Bay Meadows became an important part of city lore before closing in 2008.

The land south of Hillsdale Boulevard had a different destiny. In 1950, Hansen Homes, Inc. began residential development on the former McClellan estate. Their project would become Glendale Village, a subdivision of modest, three- and four-bedroom ranch-style homes that is now better known as San Mateo Village, after the larger adjacent development built by Conway and Culligan between the late 1940s and early 1950s.
