Overview

Freshly Updated… Wonderful Location… Excellent Value!

This property offers excellent value on the San Francisco Peninsula with convenience to both Silicon Valley and San Francisco. Looking out to the iconic South San Francisco Hillside Sign on the San Bruno Mountain, the home is freshly finished and ready for moving in and enjoying or for the opportunity to remodel. Newly refinished hardwood floors in an espresso hue, fresh paint, and crisp white trim create an ambiance that is ready for any style. A large living and dining room combination has a brick fireplace and the eat-in kitchen and main bathroom, while vintage, are both fresh and bright. There are 3 bedrooms, including one with a private half-bath. Outside, a private rear yard with low-maintenance landscaping offers ample room for play and gardening. Topping it all off is the home’s ever-so-convenient location, just 3 blocks to Buri Buri Park with playground and sports complex, less than one mile to shopping and cafes, and minutes from access to Highway 280.

South San Francisco

Buri Buri

Buri Buri is another South San Francisco district populated by typical one- and two-story mid-century suburban homes whose period charm, an afterthought in 1950, now makes them popular with buyers. Two-car garages and neat, well-maintained lawns are the norm in Buri Buri, and a central location near freeways, BART, shopping, dining and parks has contributed to homes here selling for approximately 104 percent of their asking price.

Favorable

  • Homes and lots slightly larger than similar South San Francisco neighborhoods; some properties have views

  • Location is convenient for auto and train commuters, shopping and dining

  • Residents show pride of ownership; properties are well-maintained and homeowners are active in the local community

Adverse

  • Most amenities are not within easy walking distance of Buri Buri; neighborhood WalkScore is under 40.

  • Westborough Boulevard, which forms the southern border of Buri Buri, is heavily trafficked

Explore Buri Buri

New residents are flocking to South San Francisco’s diverse neighborhoods, choosing between pre-war downtown cottages, sweeping post-war mid-century suburbia, large-scale transit hub apartment developments and condominiums and the spacious mini-mansions of Terrabay’s Mandalay Heights, whose multi-level homes sit in a small valley on the southern slope of San Bruno Mountain, offering bay views and the perks of 21st-century design with a twist — Western Pacific Housing developed Mandalay Heights “with feng shui in mind,” incorporating small and large details designed to allow for the flow of chi.

South San Francisco is known as the birthplace of biotechnology since 1976 when Genentech opened its door. With over 200 biotech companies (Amgen, Stemcentrx, 23 and me) and 11.5 million square feet of space, South San Francisco is the world’s leading research and development (R&D) (e.g. vaccines, gene therapies, ect) hub for applications for drugs and therapies, as well as the manufacturing of medical devices.

In recent years, it has become the local hub for other tech leaders such as SAP(Successfactors) as well as the Headquarters for See’s Candies and Sanrio(parent of Hello Kitty. Just a short distance from San Francisco and the Peninsula, South San Francisco is expanding rapidly, as can be seen by the large numbers of cranes and construction sites. New offices and residential buildings are popping up rapidly.

This growth in the business sector is leading to a large demand for services to support the business infrastructure. A trip through downtown’s Grand Avenue reveals that the city’s decades-old family-owned businesses are now sharing space with increasingly stylish restaurants, a downstairs brewery and tap room, hip and trendy restaurants/bowling alleys/ basketball courts/meeting locations such as Foundry & Lux, and a growing number of cafe’s. Pedestrian street life is vibrant, encouraged by city government’s partnerships with urban bicycle and carpooling apps spin.com and Scoop.com. A new Business Costco also opened last fall in South San Francisco to support and supply all these small businesses.
