Early 20th century houses surrounding downtown San Bruno
Founded in 1914, San Bruno Park has different styles of homes from various decades, mainly from the 1920s through the early 1950s. It’s the oldest part of the city and, despite containing downtown, is still more affordable than many other neighborhoods here, thanks to nearby San Francisco International Airport. "Airport traffic impacts the area, which has kept the prices down, making San Bruno Park appealing to the first-time homebuyer market," says Watson. The most common architectural styles are cottages and bungalows. Many houses have remodeled interiors or are turn-key properties. Homes sell for a median price of $1.1 million after around 42 days. Prices range from $975,000 to $1.1 million for single-family homes.

I moved to San Bruno just over a year ago. San Bruno is conveniently located near my workplace and school. The weather is nice not to hot not too cold and we don't get the Daly City fog. Grocery stores and drug stores are very close by. Walking trails such a sweet Crystal Springs is also very close. The price in San Bruno is more reasonable than surrounding cities.

Current bill that was passed to remove smoking from apartment complex grounds. Although some may see this as a problem it does help promote the family safe environment. However, if a person is not allowed to smoke in their own home, they have to find a place to smoke elsewhere, removing the comfort of having your own home. Also the internet / cable monopoly in San Bruno is terrible, especially if San Bruno Cable does not provide the service quality they advertise.

San Bruno is a great city and super close to the airport and San Francisco. There are lots of places for activities, like parks, the mall, and senior center. Overall, it is a pretty safe neighborhood with many good food places as well. The area is pretty diverse too.

I would like to say that safety in SF is okay because accidents will always happen and the police will always try their hardest to help.
