A hilly suburb with sweeping ocean views
Named for its hilly location overlooking the Pacific Coast, San Bruno’s Pacific Heights neighborhood has more to it than sweeping views. This midcentury suburb sits nearly halfway between the dining and surfing scenes of Pacifica and the downtown shopping of San Bruno, providing easy access to entertainment and essentials alike. “It’s in a convenient location, but extracted from the hustle and bustle,” says Marcus Lee, a Realtor with Compass who has sold real estate in the Bay Area for over two decades. “Basically, it’s really practical; you get good value for your money in a solid neighborhood. And you really get that suburban feel.” Even with a large college campus at its heart and a county jail at its southern end, Pacific Heights retains a quiet, suburban character shielded by abundant trees and an elevated location.

Taking in the view from Pacific Heights' trails
Located among San Bruno’s green highlands, Pacific Heights is surrounded by opportunities for outdoor recreation. Pacific Heights Park has a baseball field and playground in its expansive green space. The Notch Trail starts at Skyline College’s parking lot and runs past an old Coast Guard station before connecting to paths that lead to Mori Point’s oceanfront vistas. Milagra Ridge, located just across Sharp Park Road from Pacific Heights, has its own combination of elevated views and military history, as hikers can walk past Cold War-era artillery and missile sites now decorated with graffiti.

Midcentury and new homes mingle along hillsides
Houses vary in style and age on Pacific Heights’ steep hillsides. Ranch-style homes built from the 1950s to 1960s share streetscapes with Spanish-influenced residences built in the 1990s and early 2000s. These pastel-colored houses tend to feature small yards and sidewalk access, with shrubbery adding both color and privacy to each property. Lot sizes vary from 1,200 to 2,500 square feet, while prices range from $1 million to $2 million. Townhouses and condos on the neighborhood’s western side sell for between $735,000 and $1.2 million.

Halfway between the shore and shopping
Pacific Heights is almost entirely residential, but shopping is around every corner. This neighborhood sits halfway between Pacifica’s seafront restaurants and Westborough’s retail center. At Westborough Square, a Safeway occupies the same plaza as a Pacific Supermarket, which specializes in East Asian products. Hula Hoops Restaurant & Tiki Bar brings island festivity to inland San Mateo County with its Hawaiian-themed interior and barbecue. In Pacifica, Palmetto Avenue is lined with culinary establishments varying from a bagel shop to the El Toro Loco Peruvian-Mexican restaurant. The Shops at Tanforan, which currently offers an indoor shopping experience with options including Target and JC Penney, is set to be redesigned into a mixed-use village.
