Living in Lomita Hills
Lomita Hills, like most of northern Millbrae, was unincorporated farmland until after World War II, when returning veterans set off a building boom across San Mateo County. It's a small neighborhood of mostly modest single-family homes, with a set of newer high-end homes added by one developer. Competition here is intense: 2025 sales closed at about 116% of asking on average, and 2026 sales so far at about 121%, with a 12-month median around $1.79M.
Parking & walkability: Most homes have a garage and a driveway, and street parking is generally easy. Downtown Millbrae and the BART and Caltrain station are a few minutes away, and Highway 280 is close by.
