Suburban Neighborhood in South San Francisco, California
San Mateo County 94066, 94080
The See’s Candies headquarters in Orange Park might not be the same place where Lucy and Ethel made a mess on the company’s assembly line in the classic episode of “I Love Lucy,” but visitors can buy a box of carefully wrapped chocolates there all the same. Situated in South San Francisco, Orange Park features everything typical for this city: biking and walking trails, diverse restaurants, busy warehouses and community-supported schools.
Mostly sandwiched between the neighborhood’s namesake park and an industrial warehouse zone, residents live in suburban-style housing tracts with a mix of old and new subdivisions featuring mid-century ranch-style homes and more contemporary two-story residences that range from $800,000 to $1.7 million.
South San Francisco was founded in the 19th century as a heavily industrial city filled with factories and smokestacks. There’s a more diverse mix of lighter industries today, but industrial warehouses remain a big part of the area. Some include outlet retail stores such as Raymond’s Sourdough Bread Outlet, where visitors can get loaves of San Francisco’s trademark bread from a bakery owned by a local family since the 1990s. A few blocks down at The Night Market, food stalls serving steaming bowls of noodles, barbecue pork buns and other Hong Kong-style street foods occupy a strip mall storefront near different warehouses and industrial bakeries.
Students in the community can attend Los Cerritos Elementary and Parkway Heights Middle School. Niche gives the schools a C and B-minus rating, respectively. Students can go to South San Francisco High, where Niche gives a B-plus. All the city’s public schools feature special hands-on science programs and competitions under a partnership with Genentech, a pioneering biotechnology company rooted in the town since the 1970s.
Orange Memorial Park and the adjacent Centennial Way Dog Park are in the neighborhood's east end. Spanning 28 acres, Orange Memorial's numerous amenities include a skate park and bocce ball courts. An aquatic center is slated to open in 2025. Connected to the park, the Centennial Way Trail’s paved walkway courses through the city, passing transit stops and neighborhoods.
Orange Park is close to the city’s downtown area so that residents can visit other restaurants and boutique stores in minutes. There isn’t much parking there, so walking may be the most convenient option. Big-box stores such as Target, Marshalls, Lowe’s and The Shops at Tanforan Mall are also nearby in the neighboring city of San Bruno. A BART station is also in a convenient location for commuters who work in downtown San Francisco or Silicon Valley.
