Lomita Park

Dinners and drinks on The Avenue
Lomita Park residents live next door to the city's buzzing San Mateo Avenue, locally called "The Avenue," a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly shopping strip known for its diverse selection of mom-and-pop shops and independently owned businesses. The main street intersects with El Camino Real, the neighborhood's western boundary and a busy city connector. Dotted with more businesses and restaurants, locals can walk to Camino Corner for a casual diner-style breakfast or unwind with the regulars at the divey Dog House Bar. From pizza to sushi and Szechuan, there's a cultural melting pot of cuisines within blocks away. A few minutes north, the Shops at Tanforan Mall houses a Target and several other name-brand retailers for other errands.
Historic homes sit snugly with multi-family properties
Properties range from $975,000 to $1.5 million in Lomita Park. Most are one-story builds, dating from the 1920s to the 1940s. Stucco-sided Spanish styles with barrel-tiled roofs mix with simple ranch designs on residential roads with sidewalks and steep inclines. Multi-family housing, including duplexes, triplexes, and low-slung apartment buildings, is also prevalent in this central spot. At the low end of the market, buyers will find compact two-bedrooms with updated interiors. Price tags increase along with the amount of living space. Home values are steadily rising, and most listings find new owners within a month on the market. Residences with any amount of outdoor space – often a snug enclosed patio – go significantly more quickly than those without.
Incoming aquatic center at San Bruno City Park
Kids can stretch their legs at the Lomita Park Playground or get some exercise at Capuchino High's sprawling sports fields after school. San Bruno City Park is also a short walk away from home, with multiple play structures, spacious grassy fields and a looped walking path. People visit from across the city for community events like Friday night movies. The city is also building a state-of-the-art $50 million aquatic center on-site. The project was initially slated for completion in Fall 2023, but the sizable undertaking is ongoing. The San Bruno Public Library is a community lynchpin, organizing regular events like quilt-making workshops and holiday celebrations, including the popular Dia de los Muertos with live music, bilingual storytime and art projects. The library is also a go-to for homework after school and on rainy days.
Caltrain commutes
With excellent access to a host of public transportation options, Lomita Park locals can opt to live car-optional lifestyles. Residents can hop on the Caltrain or a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) bus for straightforward commutes to central San Fransisco, Silicon Valley and beyond. Bike lanes are built into most main roads for those who prefer an emissions-free ride around town. Lomita Park is conveniently proximate to the bustling South San Francisco City, a booming biotech hub responsible for a large portion of the regional workforce. The San Fransisco International Airport is also in town for long-distance travel. "A collaborative Noise Insulation Program (NIP) was put into place several years back to provide insulation improvements at no cost to homeowners," Zazueta says. The airport provides funding for acoustical improvements to eligible properties most affected by air traffic.
Capuchino High taking championship titles
Lomita Park kids can attend the San Bruno Park School District. Many begin at the walkable Lomita Park Elementary and continue to Parkside Intermediate, followed by Capuchino High. Each public school carries an overall score of B-minus or higher on Niche and is within a walk or 5-minute drive for Lomita Park residents. Capuchino is known for its outstanding athletics and brought home the state football championship title for the 2023 season. Buyers will also find a wide selection of private schools nearby.
