Edgewater Isle

Edgewater Isle townhomes are reasonably inexpensive. You can find a townhome here for less than $800,000, though the bulk of Edgewater Island real estate falls into the tightly-bunched $800,000 to $1.3 million with an average sales price of $1.08 million. The median for recently-sold condo units is $1.1 million. The median for recently-sold condo units is $840,000. The development It is much newer than most areas of San Mateo, is exclusively condominium and its design and layout reflect the attitudes and schools of thought not only of its era but of adjacent Foster City, the planned, almost exclusively residential community built on tidelands beginning in the early 1960s. It is also centrally located, with easy access to Bridgepoint Shopping Center, which offers large-scale shopping (Target, Home Depot, Old Navy) and dining (Mimi’s Café, Red Robin, Armadillo Willy’s, BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse) and access to Highway 92 is nearby, along with a Costco across the way.

Homes along Vista del Mar enjoy views of Seal Slough. A greenbelt, broken up by a walking path, is all that separates these units from the water, so it’s a great place to go for a walk. Edgewater Isle is a San Mateo oddity; it lacks single-family homes, is geographically closer to Foster City than to downtown and was built neither by the city’s pioneers nor by David Bohannon. For those seeking water views at an inexpensive price, though, Edgewater Isle is the right choice.

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.
