An evolving community overlooking downtown San Bruno

At the base of the Santa Cruz Mountain foothills, Rollingwood is a sought-after residential community with views of San Bruno Mountain and easy freeway access. The tranquil, sometimes foggy, neighborhood has had several names through the decades. Initially called Golden Gate Estates and then Rosswood, Rollingwood continues expanding its identity today. “The area is growing because Google and YouTube are in the Bayhill Business Park, and more corporations are coming to us. There are new developments along El Camino Real, and home prices have already started to rise,” says Jim Cary, a Broker with Reliance Realty Group with over 30 years of experience. “San Bruno might be the next Silicon Valley, and technology employees are gravitating here.” Slightly more affordable than nearby cities like Burlingame, the neighborhood is also close to beaches and the Pacific Ocean.

Shopping centers and casual eateries

The neighborhood is 2 miles from San Bruno Towne Center and the Shops at Tanforan. The Towne Center has large chain restaurants like Red Robin and Red Lobster and retailers like Marshalls. The Shops at Tanforan has a Target, Target Grocery and JCPenny alongside a dozen eateries. Sarku Japan cooks its famous Teriyaki meals to order. Pate a Choux makes a variety of cream puffs and fresh fruit teas. In the neighborhood is Shari’s Cafe and Pies, which specializes in comfort classics like breakfast skillets and patty melts.

Midcentury housing and rolling hills

Rollingwood’s houses were primarily built in the 1950s and ‘60s, although the newest homes were constructed in the early 2000s. Most have three bedrooms and have between 1,040 to 2,550 square feet of living space. The community is mainly raised ranch-style houses with a scattering of other midcentury designs. These well-maintained single-family homes rest on lots of less than one-half-acre alongside steep and curving tree-lined streets. The hilly terrain provides views of San Bruno’s ‘flat land’ neighborhoods and downtown. People tend to stay for generations, and nearly 75% of homes here are owner-occupied. Homes sell for a median price of $1.5 million after around 14 days. Prices range from $1 million to $1.7 million.

Major roadways, train stations and the San Francisco International Airport

Sidewalks connect the subdivisions, although streets are typically steep, and a handful of SamTrans bus stops dot Rollingwood Drive. The San Bruno BART station is two miles east, making traveling 15 miles to San Francisco or 44 miles to San Jose more straightforward. Interstate 280 borders the community’s eastern side, while Sneath Lane and Skyline Boulevard form the southern and western boundaries. Rollingwood is 3.5 miles from Kaiser Permanente South San Francisco Medical Center and 5 miles from the San Francisco International Airport. Those living along the freeway or in the airport’s flyway will hear noise during heavy travel times.

Varying air quality

Rollingwood experiences unhealthy air for around 15 days each year. During these times, people are advised to wear masks outdoors and use air purifiers inside their homes.
