San Bruno sits between South San Francisco and Millbrae, right next to SFO, with neighborhoods that climb from El Camino Real up toward Skyline Boulevard. It's one of the more approachable single-family markets on the northern Peninsula, and its location makes getting almost anywhere quick.
What San Bruno is like
The flatter eastern side, around El Camino Real and San Bruno Avenue, has older homes close to shops, the Caltrain station and The Shops at Tanforan, where the San Bruno BART station sits. Heading west, postwar neighborhoods like Crestmoor, Rollingwood, Portola Highlands and Pacific Heights fill the hills with mid-century ranch homes, many with bay views from the upper streets. Condo communities such as Shelter Creek add a more affordable way to own.
Nearby areas
San Bruno borders South San Francisco to the north and Millbrae to the south, with Pacifica just over the hill. If you're comparing San Bruno's hillside neighborhoods with similar ones nearby, I can pull side-by-side numbers.
