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.

Rows of well-maintained houses line the peaceful Westborough neighborhood, perfect for families.

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.

Outdoor adventures around every corner

Located along Westborough Boulevard, Westborough Park serves as the green heart of the surrounding neighborhood. A playground, a baseball field, pickleball courts and two grills make it a popular destination for both playing and picnicking. Sellick Park offers similar opportunities south of the boulevard. Westborough is also home to Callan Park, where tree-shaded trails connect to a network of backyard pathways. Whether it’s on a rainy day or for a friendly gathering, the Classic Bowling Center offers an indoor alternative to Westborough’s other sports venues. The storied California Golf Club of San Francisco, known locally as Cal Club, is just on the other side of Interstate 280 and is for members only.

Diverse shopping and dining options in Westborough

Westborough is home to the Westborough Center, a retail hub with diverse shopping and dining options.

The Pho Saigon restaurant serves up a variety of Vietnamese dishes, especially pho. Tokyo Sushi & Bar offers bento boxes in addition to its namesake seafood specialty.
