About the Shoreview Neighborhood

Shoreview’s north side offers proximity to Coyote Point, the Poplar Creek Golf Course, Highway 101 and something else: the Bay Trail. The highly popular shoreline trail cuts directly through Shoreview’s eastern border before peeling off into Foster City. South of East 3rd Avenue is South Shoreview, where the homes generally run about a decade younger than their neighbors to the north. They’re also slightly more expensive. Here you’re more likely to find Shoreview homes for sale in the $1.2 to $1.5 million range. The southern end of the neighborhood is where you’ll find Parkside Elementary School (located in a part of the neighborhood sometimes known as Parkside and built on the site of an old air field) and Bayside Middle School. North Shoreview is served by North Shoreview Elementary. South Shoreview runs along Seal Slough and ends at Highway 92, leaving the southeasternmost end of San Mateo for Los Prados and Lakeshore, two entry-level neighborhoods whose long-established streets – like those of Shoreview – serve as continuing proof that D.A. Raybould’s 1928 roll of the dice was no folly.

Perhaps less green and lush as more expensive neighborhoods, however still fantastic

Learn More About Shoreview

Arguably the most affordable single family home neighborhood in San Mateo, Shoreview real estate was always designed to appeal to San Mateo’s working class. The northern end of the neighborhood – the area north of East 3rd Avenue and J. Hart Clinton Drive — was developed first, block after block of modest, single-story two- and three-bedroom cottages ranging in size from 1,000 to approximately 1,500 square feet. There are outliers, like the small subdivision of larger, newer two-story homes on Trollman Avenue and North Quebec Street near Harbor View Park, but in this part of Shoreview, a significant percentage of homes can be had for between $1.1m and $1.5 million.
