A suburban community with easy access to shopping and San Francisco

In South San Francisco’s Westborough neighborhood, suburban living meets with abundant shopping and easy highway access to the city. “It’s a really quaint community, very suburban,” says Realtor Marcus Lee with Compass, who has sold real estate in the Bay Area for over two decades. “It's great for families, but it's also really diverse. Neighbors get to know each other." Rows of condos are connected by small pedestrian walkways, while thickly foliated hills provide verdant buffers to the noise of nearby highways.

A midcentury suburb full of pastel condos and split-levels

Westborough was developed in the 1960s as South San Francisco transformed from the industrial “Smokestack Capital of the Peninsula” into the suburb it is now. Most homes date to the 1960s-1980s, although some condominiums along the neighborhood’s periphery were built as recently as the 2000s. "Another draw is that the homes tend to be larger in Westborough than many of the surrounding neighborhoods, where most homes are two bedrooms and one bath,” Lee says. “In Westborough, you can find homes with four bedrooms and three bathrooms." Westborough Boulevard splits the neighborhood between northern and southern sections; condos predominate north of the boulevard, while split-level, single-family residences line the streets to its south. Condos range in price from $700,000 to $900,000, while single-family residences can fetch between $1 million and $1.3 million. Many homes sit at a slight incline due to the elevated terrain of the San Francisco Peninsula, and front-yard shrubbery offers privacy within this densely populated community.
