Residential enclave between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay
Avalon, or Avalon Park as it’s sometimes called, is a uniquely enclosed neighborhood in South San Francisco. It’s bordered east and west by major roadways, while the northern end has a golf course and the southern end has a national cemetery. The hilly midcentury community has various housing and recreation options, restaurants, and a respected elementary school. These elements combine to create a place where families, long-time residents and commuters can find everything they need. “Avalon is very welcoming and friendly,” says Adela Gildo-Mazzon, a Realtor with Compass and 20 years of experience. “Many residents have lived here for a while; they know each other and watch out for each other. It’s quiet and peaceful, and many homes have beautiful views of the San Francisco Bay.”

Midcentury neighborhood with a suburban feel
Avalon was developed in the early 1950s. It’s filled with raised and one-story ranch styles, as well as split levels. They average around 1,000 square feet of living space because compact two-bedroom houses were typical then. As the decades passed, homes became larger and more expensive. No matter the size, the well-maintained houses sit along winding streets that end in cul-de-sacs. Homes sell for a median price of $1.25 million after around 10 days. Prices range from $900,000 to $1.5 million for two- to three-bedroom homes, while homes with 4 or more bedrooms sell for between $1.4 million and $2 million.

San Bruno BART station, the 280 freeway and lots of sidewalks
Avalon is one of South San Francisco’s most walkable neighborhoods, thanks to a network of sidewalks throughout the residential sections. Bike lanes run along Westborough and Junipero Serra Boulevards, and bus stops are concentrated near the community’s center. El Camino Real and Interstate 280 border opposite sides of Avalon and connect to Interstate 380 just south of the area. People heading 14 miles to downtown San Francisco don’t have to go far for transit because the San Bruno BART station is only 1.5 miles away. The neighborhood is 2 miles from Kaiser Permanente’s South Francisco Medical Center and 5 miles from the San Francisco International Airport. The freeways and airport contribute to noise pollution during heavy travel times.
