Hillside
Original houses and newer constructions
Marina-style row houses painted in pastel hues line the neighborhood’s wide, hill-sloped streetscapes. These homes rarely have front lawn spaces but often display features like large front bay windows, vinyl siding and attached garages. A few areas have larger detached houses, where Spanish Revivals and midcentury moderns are common architectural styles. Most homes were built in the 1940s and ‘50s, but a few subdivisions are sprinkled with newer constructions. “The homes in Hillside are older and tend to be closer together,” says Santas. “They are actually called ‘earthquake homes’ because they are attached to help protect them from earthquakes since Daly City does sit on the fault line.” Prices range from about $650,000 for an older two-bedroom home and up to $1.9 million for a newer, four-bedroom detached property with modern interiors. Hillside also has a popular 55-plus manufactured home community, The Franciscan, with midcentury-style manufactured homes priced from $280,000 to $450,000.Shopping and dining along Market Street
The Bread Basket Bakery is a popular neighborhood institution, serving Pan de Sal bread rolls and other traditional Filipino pastries since 1977. Lost Cuates Taqueria, located in the small Market Place Shopping Center, is a highly-rated Mexican eatery with items like carne asada tacos. Along Mission Street is Prima Pizza, the go-to spot for a classic slice, while nearby Lucky Supermarket is stocked with grocery items. Just outside Hillside’s northern border, the upscale Via Mare offers a more refined take on Filipino classics, with dishes like crispy pork leg and stewed oxtail in a peanut-based sauce. The Westlake Shopping Center, a few miles west on Southgate Avenue, has many shopping options, from specialty shops to big-box stores like The Home Depot and Target.

Annual rodeos and holiday spectacles at the Cow Palace Arena
Four miles west of Hillside, the Cow Palace Arena and Events Venue is home to the Bay Area’s Grand National Rodeo, Horse & Stock Show. Taking place in October, it’s one of the largest rodeo shows in the nation. During the winter, the venue transforms into an immersive Victoria London setting for the annual Great Dickens Christmas Fair & Victorian Holiday Party. This 5-week event features costumed performers, musical concerts, local food and festive shops. The Serramonte Center, two miles south, hosts seasonal community gatherings like summer kick-off parties and Easter egg hunts.Public schools with culinary arts and engineering programs
Students may attend Woodrow Wilson Elementary School, which gets a C-rating from Niche, followed by the C-plus-rated Thomas R. Pollicita Middle School. The A-minus-rated Jefferson High School offers special culinary arts and engineering academy programs. Its most famous graduate is legendary football coach and broadcaster John Madden, who led the Bay Area’s Oakland Raiders to a Super Bowl victory in 1977.

Neighborhood parks and nearby San Bruno Mountain trails
Hillside Park is an open, grassy green space with tennis and basketball courts, a mini track field and play areas. Surrounded by evergreens, it has paved walking trails with views of San Bruno Mountain. Marchbank Park is at the center of Hillside, with basketball courts, playgrounds and a plaza. Just east is San Bruno Mountain State and Country Park. This 2,416-acre park has extensive biking, hiking and horseback riding trails within its rugged landscape, which is known for its golden poppies in the spring. The park’s summit provides 360-degree views of the bay and city skyline. Trading mountain scenes for a seaside landscape is Thorton State Beach, just a few miles west, providing sandy beach trails along the Pacific coastline.

Near Interstate 280 and two BART Stations
Although Mission Street has a direct route into San Francisco to the north and Colma to the south, Interstate 280 is the largest nearby highway option, located a few miles west. Both the Daly City and Colma BART Stations are less than a few miles away for traveling by light rail around the Bay Area. Multiple public bus stops reside along Mission Street, and the San Francisco International Airport is about nine miles south.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
