Overview
Rare Waterfront Living in the Heart of the Peninsula
Waterfront living is a rare, hidden treasure on the fast-paced Peninsula. Enjoy watching water-skiers from your own private dock, launch your kayak for fitness, or host large gatherings on the extra-deep waterfront rear yard and patio. This is a very special place to come home to every day.
Fresh updates extend throughout this classic 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch home – newly painted interiors, beautifully refinished birch hardwood floors throughout most of the home, plus a remodeled kitchen with new oak floors. The new floors continue into the large family room, which boasts wall-to-wall sliding glass doors for the quintessential indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Enjoy freshly painted decks, a vast patio, and newly landscaped lawn and gardens that extend to an elevated patio on the edge of the water, a large dock, plus boat launch entry.
The Parkside neighborhood is an added bonus with its sidewalk-lined streets, blocks-away proximity to JoinVille Park for picnics, recreation, tennis, and seasonal swimming pools, plus Aquatic Park is down the street for more waterfront activities. An easy bike ride leads to the Bay Trail for miles of riding plus downtown amenities are just over 2 miles away. Experience a new style of living on the Peninsula!

San Mateo
Parkside
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.

San Mateo has it all: a diversity of neighborhoods, great parks, easy access, a plethora of shopping, and home to many businesses and an anchor for employment on the peninsula. With a rich heritage, dating back to the turn of the century with its most famous resident being A.P. Giannini, the founder of the Bank of Italy and later Bank of America, San Mateo offers a delightful spread of activity for all. The downtown area is studded with delicious restaurants and a variety of retail stores, and also boasts a 12 screen movie theatre and one of the largest wine cellars in the country, at Draeger’s Grocery Store. Shopping abounds at Hillsdale and Bridgepointe as well as the many neighborhood shopping centers.
Perhaps the most well known natural area is Coyote Point, a rock outcropped peninsula that juts into San Francisco Bay and home to a natural history museum, the Peninsula Humane Society, windsurfing, a private marina, and large picnic areas with uplifting vistas. Within walking distance of downtown, Central Park has something for everyone: ride the toy train, pick up a game of tennis, take a serene walk through the Japanese Garden, have a picnic while listening to Thursday evening’s Jazz in the Park, or enjoy the playgrounds.
San Mateo attracts a variety of homeowners, from those seeking their first home in the upcoming neighborhoods of the Village, Parkside, or Shoreview, to those looking for more a little more space in Hillsdale or the Meadows, to larger families seeking the spaciousness offered by San Mateo Park, Baywood, and Aragon.

Early San Mateo was a place of large estates and boldface names familiar to anyone who’s driven the town’s streets. Parrott, Hayward, Borel—these were the wealthy pioneers who sowed the seeds that eventually grew into today’s modern city of 100,000 residents. San Mateo was borne from their needs and later from their subdivided land, all around a stagecoach stop established in 1849 by Nicolas de Peyster on former Ohlone tribal land.
