Business meets pleasure in San Carlos' downtown district
Clearfield Park is so much more than the industrial downtown of San Carlos — it’s a thriving residential community with a fast-paced, urban lifestyle. “Because it’s industrial, people think there’s less community. But you actually have a lot of old-school residents who can’t see themselves living anywhere else,” says Mariana Pappalardo, team lead of the Pappalardo Group at Compass, member of the prestigious Top Agent Network and longtime resident of San Carlos. Centered on a compact pocket of homes, some of which date to the late 1940s, Clearfield Park is both convenient for commuters and friendly to families. The combination of business and pleasure attracts a variety of buyers looking for an affordable entrance point to the City of Good Living, as San Carlos is known. Employment options are available both near and far, and public transportation makes it easy to reach top companies in Silicon Valley and San Francisco. During the week, students can attend some of the Bay Area’s most highly rated schools. And on the weekend, neighbors can meet at local restaurants for brunch on Laurel Street, go boutique shopping or explore the beautiful parks and mountains that pepper the San Francisco Peninsula.
Wine and dine on Laurel Street
Walkable Laurel Street is the culinary heart of San Carlos, packed with upscale steakhouses like Town and international stops such as Rangoon Ruby Burmese Cuisine. The street is almost always busy, whether it’s a weekly farmers market, an annual festival or just a Friday night dinner rush. Locals also love to visit Cuisinett Bistro and Market for healthy French-style fare, while Domenico Winery attracts wine lovers with its signature blends and family-run atmosphere. San Carlos Marketplace is packed with retailers such as Best Buy and PetSmart, and there’s a Lucky grocery store just a few blocks down the road.

Affordability in the hot San Fran market
With average list prices between $1.1 million and $2 million, Clearfield Park represents “entry-level pricing for the whole city,” Pappalardo says, noting that it’s often hailed as one of the most affordable neighborhoods in San Carlos. Space can be limited, and most homes are less than 1,500 square feet, but there are few places that can compare to Clearfield Park’s convenience. Buyers will find both renovated original tract homes and contemporary shingled Craftsman builds, a dynamic mix that echoes the juxtaposition of new and old in the more industrial areas.

From monkey bars to Bair Island's marine oasis
Surrounded by homes, Laureola Park is an island of greenery amid the concrete jungle. This nearly 3-acre park has a grassy baseball field, a basketball court and a playground with sunshades and cushioned turf. In summer, children can attend camps and classes in the on-site activity room. Bird watchers flock to the trails at nearby Bair Island State Marine Park, a marsh that plays an important role in the area’s ecosystem. Across El Camino Real, Burton Park hosts citywide events, welcomes local sports teams and provides paths for calm walks in the shade. And farther west, hikers can spend hours beneath the redwoods exploring the peaks and valleys in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
The best party on the Peninsula
For 30 years, neighbors have gathered on Laurel Street in October for the San Carlos Art & Wine Faire, known as the premier fall festival on the Peninsula. Vendors also set up booths here for the city’s year-round Sunday farmers market, and the street really comes to life during the annual Hometown Days parade.
All roads lead to Silicon Valley
With access to both SamTrans buses and Caltrain light rails, commuters enjoy quick trips to employment centers in San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Highway 101 offers direct routes up and down the coast, leading to key locations like the San Francisco International Airport less than 15 miles north.
