San Mateo Park, San Mateo

One of the wealthiest communities in all of San Mateo, San Mateo Park is a ritzy country club neighborhood along the San Francisco peninsula. It is completely residential, somewhat reclusive and evenly distributed among its 0.6 square miles. Demographically speaking the district is buoyed by an upper-class population totaling 3,000, most of whom are of white decent (80%). The area also shares a close connection with the Burlingame Country Club and hosts a collection of beautiful, lofty homes.

San Mateo Park’s neighborhood quarters is the picture of luxury living encompassing about a dozen blocks. For perspective residents, there are a wide range of eclectic homes, most of which are grand and hidden beneath the wooded landscape (trees and shrubbery abound). If you’re driving around the neighborhood, you’ll notice the polished suburban quarters and enormous properties. It’s a perfect family-friendly environment if you can afford the lofty price tag. According to the 2010 US Census, the median house values approximate 1.4 million while median incomes are priced around $140,000/year (way above the city average).

For recreation, the San Mateo community is within close proximity to the Burlingame Country Club. The private club, actually a part of Burlingame, is expensive but offers a fantastic 18-hole course, tennis courts, a driving range and a rather nice clubhouse to hang your hat after a long day out in the sun.
