Westlake Homes for Rent

Westlake, located in Daly City, is a neighborhood that emerged from San Francisco’s post-World War II suburbanization. Developed by Henry Doelger in the 1940s and 1950s, the area features mid-century modern homes, primarily split-level tract houses with an average floor plan of 1,350 square feet. These homes are known for their quality wood and open spaces. Westlake’s streets are often inclined, with small front lawns and tight driveways. The neighborhood offers scenic views of the Gulf of the Farallones and access to parks and beaches like Mussel Rock Park and Thornton State Beach, which provide hiking trails and coastal vistas. Westlake Park is a community hub, hosting the annual Frosty Fest in December. For shopping and dining, residents frequent the Westlake Shopping Center, which includes Trader Joe’s, Safeway, and eateries like Chick & Jajang and Original Joe’s. The nearby Serramonte Center features a farmers market twice a week. Commuting is convenient with access to SamTrans bus service and Interstate 280, making San Francisco a 10-mile drive and Oakland just over 20 miles away. The San Francisco International Airport is also 10 miles from the neighborhood. Westmoor High School, highly rated for its career and technical education programs, serves the area along with Marjorie H. Tobias Elementary and Ben Franklin Intermediate School.
