Waterfront panorama on the San Francisco Peninsula
With scenic Bay views, waterfront parks and a salty breeze in the air, South Shoreview lives up to its name. Located in the city of San Mateo, it’s brimming with midcentury homes that approach the shores of the San Francisco Bay. “It’s got some grit to it, but it’s a really strong community. You can drive down Norfolk Street and pretty much bank on running into somebody you know,” says Realtor Bill Shaffer, who grew up in the neighborhood and worked there for decades before moving to San Diego a few years ago. And with parks and trails skirting the water's edge, the neighborhood is prime real estate for outdoor lovers. "I loved being able to hop on my bike and ride all around the Bay," Shaffer says.

Midcentury ranch homes near the shoreline
South Shoreview was built out in the 1950s and 60s, and primarily features ranch style homes with small yards and one-car garages. While these homes are older many have been upgraded, renovated and rehabbed while hanging onto their classic, midcentury charm. Lot sizes here are typically around 5,000 square feet, meaning there’s less upkeep but still enough room for a small garden. Home prices tend to range from $1.2 million to $1.8 million, which is consistent with surrounding neighborhoods. South Shoreview and North Shoreview are among the most affordable in San Mateo.

Waterfront parks and the Bay Trail
Seal Point Park is a go-to greenspace not just for South Shoreview, but for the whole city. It’s come a long way — it was once a municipal landfill but was transformed into a hilly public park in the 1980s. Today, it offers walking trails, a dog park, a windsurfing and kayak launch and some of the best bay views in the city. It’s also an access point for the Bay Trail, a shoreline path that stretches for 350 miles that’s very popular for joggers, walkers and cyclists. “The Bay Trail is a lifeline for these communities,” Shaffer says. Shoreview Park, nestled within the neighborhood, has tennis courts, a playground, a baseball diamond and a skatepark. The San Francisco Peninsula’s hot, dry summers and mild winters make it ideal for year-round recreation.

The neighborhood is also home to Chinese, Mexican, Salvadoran and Indian restaurants. Tabla Indian Restaurant is a long-running local eatery serving classic curries, biryanis and dosa. For upscale dining and boutique shopping, Downtown San Mateo is only a mile away.
