A quiet suburban neighborhood known for its eponymous park, custom homes
Centrally located on the San Francisco Peninsula is Beresford Park, a picturesque suburban neighborhood just 2 miles from downtown San Mateo. It's known for its eponymous park, custom homes and quiet sidewalk-lined streets. Kids in the area have access to highly-rated schools, including the No. 1 ranked high school in San Mateo County, according to Niche. While the neighborhood is largely residential, shopping, dining and entertainment are well within reach. "West-side San Mateo is sought after. The neighborhood's proximity to the freeways, shopping and the schools are great," says Nonnie Dinges, a Realtor with Real Experts Realty. She is a lifelong San Mateo resident and has been selling homes in the area for 40 years.

Beresford Park offers everything from small bungalows to custom estates
Popular styles include ranch-style, bungalow, craftsman, Spanish Mission and custom contemporary homes. Homes here can begin just below the median sale price in San Mateo of $1.48 million. "It's not as established as some other neighborhoods, which has contributed to the slightly lower prices," Dinges says. Small two- to three-bedroom single-family dwellings begin at $1.35 million. Larger homes with four- to five-bedrooms can sell for over $3 million. Homebuyers can also find a handful of estates costing between $4 million and $4.5 million.
