A bayside neighborhood that's also home to the PlayStation headquarters

Mariners Isle winds along the Seal Slough, a waterway that branches off from the San Francisco Bay. Despite the name, the neighborhood isn’t on an island, but it is close to the San Francisco Bay. This San Mateo neighborhood is known for its 1970s waterfront homes that line the Seal Slough. Because homes are so close to shopping, dining, golf and the San Francisco Bay, it’s extremely walkable. Mariner’s Isle is also the headquarters of Sony PlayStation. This serves as an employer for the area, and a landmark site for gamers living in Mariners Isle.

Recreation by The Bay

Mariners Island Park is the neighborhood’s waterside greenspace. It’s along a small channel that branches off from Seal Slough and offers a playground, walking trails and a baseball field. While the Seal Slough has visual and ecological appeal, it's typically not used for recreation. For water-focused activities, most head to the nearby San Francisco Bay to swim or kayak. The Mariners Point Golf Center, which has views of the San Francisco Bay and a 9-hole golf course, is next to the neighborhood. The Bay Trail passes by the Mariners Point Golf Center and winds around the San Francisco Bay with 500 miles of trails. For indoor recreation, the Nazareth Ice Oasis offers ice skating and hockey.

Getting around San Mateo

U.S. Route 92 is the primary route through the area. It crosses the Bay via the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge into Oakland. It also intersects with U.S. Route 101 in the south, for travel into San Francisco. SamTrans buses serve the area, but having a car is important because the closest stop is about 2 miles away. The San Francisco International Airport is about 9 miles north, and the Foster City Medical Center is about 2 miles east.
