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. Townhouses and condos offer a more affordable option. Two-bedroom condo units can sell for between $670,000 and $1.2 million, while three-bedroom townhouse units can sell for between $1.1 million and $1.27 million.

The neighborhood is named for the centrally located Beresford Park

Beresford Park is named for the park in the center of the community. The recreation space offers lighted tennis and bocce ball courts, baseball fields, a skate park, an enclosed playground and several picnic areas. It includes the Beresford Recreation Center and the San Mateo Garden Center. Both can be rented for events. East Hillsdale Park is less than 1 mile away. It's substantially smaller than Beresford Park but still includes a large playground, tennis courts, a walking trail, and open lawn space. The Peninsula Golf and Country Club sits in the northwest quarter of the neighborhood. It was established in 1911 and features a golf course designed by Donald Ross, an early 20th-century course architect whom golf legend Jack Nicklaus once praised for emphasizing "naturalness" in his course designs.
