Homeplace Hillsborough, CA
One of Hillsborough's designated neighborhoods, in the heart of town.
Living in Homeplace
Homeplace is one of Hillsborough's designated neighborhoods, near the heart of town, and one of its most varied. It holds grand pre-war estates, including Tudors and chateaus of 6,000 square feet or more on acre-plus lots, alongside the four- and five-bedroom 1950s ranch homes of Hillsborough's first wave of large-scale development, plus newer homes built to rival the originals. It's among the town's busier and higher-priced areas, with 19 sales and a median around $8M over the last 12 months, up from about $6.17M in 2025.
Parking & walkability: Homes have long driveways and multi-car garages, and Hillsborough has no sidewalks, so this is a driving neighborhood. Burlingame's and San Mateo's downtowns are each a few minutes away by car, and Highway 280, 92 and 101 are all within easy reach.

Homeplace on the map
Borders are built lot by lot from the county's property lines and where homes have been listed (MLS neighborhood codes), and stay inside official city limits (dashed), so a home or two along an edge may differ from official MLS lines.
