San Mateo Homes for Sale

San Mateo is a Santa Fe neighborhood with suburban tranquility and urban amenities, located less than a mile from downtown and under 2 miles from Santa Fe Plaza. The area is walkable, with mature apricot trees and curvy streets lined with sidewalks. Homes range from 1950s Santa Fe-style houses built by Allen Stamm to newer custom-built properties. There are spacious lots, which are uncommon in the city's inner neighborhoods. While most of the residences are single-family homes, there are some condos. The neighborhood includes the CHRISTUS Saint Vincent Regional Hospital, earning it the nickname "Hospital District." The 16-acre Salvador Perez Park is one of several parks in the area, and offers amenities like tennis courts, baseball and soccer fields and an indoor pool. The smaller Harvey Cornell Rose Park is known for its vibrant rose garden. Students attend the highly rated Santa Fe High School, which offers programs in culinary arts, engineering and JROTC. Locals find popular dining spots like Maria's New Mexican Kitchen and Paper Dosa along Cordova Road, as well as a Trader Joe's. The Santa Fe Farmers' Market in the nearby Railyard Arts District is a local highlight, offering fresh produce and baked goods. Saint Francis Drive connects to Interstate 25, about 4 miles south. Public transportation is available through Santa Fe Trails bus stops and bike lanes along Old Pecos Trail.
