About the Homeplace Neighborhood

Learn More About Homeplace

In Homeplace, you will find the requisite four and five-bedroom 1950s California ranch-style homes so popular during Hillsborough’s first wave of large-scale development. A surprising number are still held by longtime owners. You will also find grand, pre-war estates, Tudors and Chateaus sporting upwards of 6,000 square feet of living space on acre-plus lots, along with neo-Tudors and neo-Chateaus built in the past decade whose size and scale rival that of the original homes. Homeplace is equidistant from downtown San Mateo and Burlingame Avenue. Crocker Middle School (Hillsborough’s only public middle school) straddles its northern boundary, as does the Burlingame Country Club.

Not surprisingly, homes in Homeplace can range in price from just above $4 million all the way up to $10 million. In 2017, homes sold for an average of $1,292 per square foot (up 17% from 2017), and sold in an average of 21 days (down 25% from 2016), making 2017 a banner year for real estate in Homeplace. The neighborhood's 2017 huge jump in home values was driven by a few ultra-high-end neighborhood sales, as median home prices skyrocketed, rising 48.6% from $3.8m to $5.65m (average prices increased 41.4%, from $3.991 to $5.65m). This is not surprising given the few number of sales (10) since the neighborhood is so small. For the year, the ten homes sold for a median of $5.65m (up 48.6%).

In 2017, the gap between the most expensive Homeplace sale and the least expensive was $7m — the largest for any Hillsborough neighborhood. At one end was 444 El Centro Road, which sold for $2.7m. At the other was 605 Brewer Drive, a notable sale for any neighborhood at $9.75m.
