San Bruno's Cupid Row

Did you know that San Bruno has a really cool past? The Cupid Row neighborhood from an arial view has its streets formed like two hearts. There are around 10 streets where some are only two or three houses long! The reason for this, I heard, was that in the old days, people used to come to San Bruno to get away from San Francisco and spend time in little vacation cottages in Cupid Row. Oooh! How cozy!

It's oh sooo romantic :)

Can you rent the cottages or are they owner occupied homes?

Tee hee hee! There are no more cottages to rent but there are still some cute little cottage style homes in the neighborhood. Its a nice quiet little area suggled between the train tracks and El Camino Real. Homes sell nowadays btween $400,000-600,000. I love my San Bruno lore! What I don't know about San Bruno, I can find out pretty easily!

ahhhh...I wish I lived in a heart shaped street :)

I've never been to San Bruno myself, but sounds lovely. I spend most of my time in San Francisco, of which I have a love hate relationship with. On one hand I love the bay area and how beautiful parts of San Francisco can be, but on the other hand there are parts which are very dirty and and can make you feel quite unsafe....namely the tenderloin district. I just don't understand the government doesn't do something about it!

Anyways, that's my rant\2cents for the day :)
