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.

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.

Halfway between the shore and shopping

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.
