San Mateo
Shoreview
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 $1.35 to $2 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.

San Mateo has it all: a diversity of neighborhoods, great parks, easy access, a plethora of shopping, and home to many businesses and an anchor for employment on the peninsula. With a rich heritage, dating back to the turn of the century with its most famous resident being A.P. Giannini, the founder of the Bank of Italy and later Bank of America, San Mateo offers a delightful spread of activity for all. The downtown area is studded with delicious restaurants and a variety of retail stores, and also boasts a 12 screen movie theatre and one of the largest wine cellars in the country, at Draeger’s Grocery Store. Shopping abounds at Hillsdale and Bridgepointe as well as the many neighborhood shopping centers.
Perhaps the most well known natural area is Coyote Point, a rock outcropped peninsula that juts into San Francisco Bay and home to a natural history museum, the Peninsula Humane Society, windsurfing, a private marina, and large picnic areas with uplifting vistas. Within walking distance of downtown, Central Park has something for everyone: ride the toy train, pick up a game of tennis, take a serene walk through the Japanese Garden, have a picnic while listening to Thursday evening’s Jazz in the Park, or enjoy the playgrounds.
San Mateo attracts a variety of homeowners, from those seeking their first home in the upcoming neighborhoods of the Village, Parkside, or Shoreview, to those looking for more a little more space in Hillsdale or the Meadows, to larger families seeking the spaciousness offered by San Mateo Park, Baywood, and Aragon.

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.
