Westborough was built in three phases between 1960 and 1969. As one of South City’s “newest” post-war neighborhoods, its one- and two-story homes are generally larger than those found in older developments, measuring in at between 1,500 and 2,000 square feet. Most have two car garages and small lawns and have been maintained well by their owners. Westborough is well-positioned for car and train commuters, close to two large shopping centers and Tanforan and includes a hidden bonus: a series of walking trails which run through the northern end of the district. Add all of this up and you have a neighborhood where recent sales have fallen in the $1 million to $1.6 million range, putting Westborough at the top of South San Francisco’s real estate market.

Favorable

• Larger and newer homes than those available in most South San Francisco subdivisions
• Residents show great pride of ownership in maintaining their properties
• Proximity to Highway 280 for commuters and two large shopping centers for day-to-day convience

Adverse

• Located far from downtown, Westborough has a completely suburban character and is not easy to access/egress
• Homes here are selling at the top of the South San Francisco market
