Suburban streets, waterfront views and community parks
Sea Colony offers up a tapestry of waterfront views, bustling local parks and upscale homes just minutes from the San Francisco Bay shore. The neighborhood is in the heart of Foster City, a Peninsula suburb at the northern tip of Silicon Valley. Largely built between the 1970s and 80s, it’s known for its spacious homes, safe, walkable streets and strong public schools. “It’s a breezy, beautiful neighborhood in an area that’s known for good schools. There are a lot of young families and people that work in tech,” says Realtor Kimberly Birdsall of Compass Realty, who grew up on the Peninsula. The neighborhood is less than a mile from Oracle’s sprawling corporate headquarters, a major area tech employer.

Gateshead Park and Antigua Park are also in the neighborhood and offer playgrounds and walking paths.
