Hillside Daly City homes with ocean views
Though San Francisco may be the second-most densely populated city in America, the district of Westlake in neighboring Daly City has a distinctly spacious feel. This beachfront neighborhood offers hilltop views of the Pacific Ocean and quiet streetscapes lined with colorful, postwar-built tract housing. Surrounded by parks and just a short trip down Interstate 280 from San Francisco, Westlake offers scenic and suburban relaxation close to the heart of the Bay Area.
Summer and holiday recreation at Westlake's parks
Westlake offers commanding views of the Gulf of the Farallones, and parks and beaches provide direct access to the Pacific Coast. Mussel Rock Park features 250 acres of rocky coastline, and multiple hiking trails offer scenic vistas of the ocean and expansive cliffsides. North of this park is Thornton State Beach, a 58-acre stretch of waterfront full of lush chaparral and cooled by sea breezes from May to September. The Olympic Club, just north of the neighborhood, is members-only and has numerous golf courses and a clubhouse. Westlake Park hosts one of this community’s most celebrated festivals, Frosty Fest, each December. Though usually home to tennis and fitness courts, this park transforms into a winter wonderland featuring holiday-themed baked goods, hot chocolate, over 100 holiday inflatables and visits from Santa. Plus, San Bruno Mountain State and Country Park are about 6 miles east of the neighborhood for more outdoor recreation.
Westlake residents have access to multiple beautiful coastal getaways.
The Olympic Club is one of several choices for golf near Westlake.

Rows of "Little Boxes" sit along quiet streets
Westlake is a product of San Francisco’s post-World War II suburbanization. “Westlake has a lot of more detached homes,” says local Realtor Loukia Karneris of Harper Real Estate. “It’s just a little bit more sprawled out.” Developer Henry Doelger transformed former farmland and duneland into a residential community during the 1940s and 1950s. Houses designed by Doelger Homes remain some of Westlake’s most in-demand options. “They have really good wood. They’re what’s called today mid-modern, with open spaces,” Karneris says. The majority of Westlake’s homes are split-level tract houses with average floor plans of 1,350 square feet. Because most of these homes were built by the same contractors, their uniform design even inspired a 1960s song, “Little Boxes,” referencing their compact designs. While 2-bedroom residences can sell for between $855,000 and $1.4 million, homes with more than 3 bedrooms can fetch between $1 million and $1.8 million. Westlake’s streets tend to sit at an incline, and small front lawns border sidewalks and tight driveways.
Many streets in Westlake are not too far from the Pacific Ocean.
Boxy colorful homes are a hallmark of Westlake.

Interstate and bus access to San Francisco
Westlake and the rest of Daly City are connected to San Mateo County’s SamTrans bus service, which provides access to urban centers as far away as San Francisco and Palo Alto. Interstate 280 makes commuting into San Francisco a 10-mile journey, while Oakland is just over 20 miles up the highway. The San Francisco International Airport is 10 miles away via I-280 or I-380. The nearest hospital, the AHMC Seton Medical Center, is just 2 miles around the corner in neighboring Saint Francis.
