Overview
Remodeled in a Most Desirable Community
Welcome to this enchanting Westborough neighborhood of attached single-family homes with sidewalk-lined streets and an amazing array of community walking paths that invite strolls, fitness, and meeting the neighbors. Sheltered behind a decorative white iron gate, this home opens to beautifully remodeled interiors and offers front views extending out to the San Francisco Bay with the sparkle of city lights by night.
The street-level foyer leads up to the home’s elevated position where new paint and engineered wood floors enhance the ambiance. A spacious living room with fireplace and formal dining area are open and bright, easily connecting with the remodeled chef’s kitchen. Here, espresso-hued cabinetry is topped with new quartz counters, including a breakfast/wine bar, and quality stainless steel appliances provide everything needed for the chef. Down the hallway, 3 bedrooms and 2 well-appointed baths are found, including the master suite with walk-in closet and en suite bath. Adding the finishing touch, the private rear yard offers ample space for outdoor living and gardening plus a gate to one of the many community paths. All of this, plus minutes-away proximity to shops, restaurants, schools, parks, and a major commute route makes this an excellent place to call home.

South San Francisco
Westborough
Westborough was built in three phases between 1960 and 1969. As one of South City’s “newest” post-war neighborhoods, its one- and two-story homes are generally larger than those found in older developments, measuring in at between 1,500 and 2,000 square feet. Most have two car garages and small lawns and have been maintained well by their owners. Westborough is well-positioned for car and train commuters, close to two large shopping centers and Tanforan and includes a hidden bonus: a series of walking trails which run through the northern end of the district. Add all of this up and you have a neighborhood where recent sales have fallen in the $1 million to $1.6 million range, putting Westborough at the top of South San Francisco’s real estate market.
Favorable
Larger and newer homes than those available in most South San Francisco subdivisions
Residents show great pride of ownership in maintaining their properties
Proximity to Highway 280 for commuters and two large shopping centers for day-to-day convience
Adverse
Located far from downtown, Westborough has a completely suburban character and is not easy to access/egress
Homes here are selling at the top of the South San Francisco market
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.
