About the Parkside Neighborhood

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.
