Colma is one of the smallest cities in San Mateo County, best known for its cemeteries: most of its land has been devoted to them since the early 1900s, when San Francisco moved its burials south. A small residential area sits among them, close to BART and shopping.
What Colma is like
Homes are a mix of single-family houses and condos on a handful of residential blocks. Serramonte Center and Colma's own retail centers are close by, the Colma BART station is right next door, and Highway 280 and El Camino Real are easy to reach.
Nearby areas
Colma is surrounded by Daly City and South San Francisco. If you're looking in this part of the county, I can compare Colma with nearby Daly City neighborhoods.
