Mills Park San Bruno, CA
Central San Bruno with postwar homes, some with Spanish-influenced styling.
Living in Mills Park
Mills Park sits on land once owned by Darius Ogden Mills, who, like Ansel Easton, subdivided his Peninsula holdings slowly. In December 1940 developer George W. Williams filed plans for “Mills Park Additions” on 50-by-100-foot lots; 40 homes selling for about $6,000 went up within a year before World War II halted work, which resumed in 1945, and the neighborhood was essentially complete by 1955. It's classic postwar San Bruno, with modest one-story homes, some with Spanish touches. It had 27 sales in 2025 at a median around $1.45M, and 2026 sales so far have averaged about 113% of asking.
Parking & walkability: Most homes have a garage and a driveway, and street parking is generally easy. El Camino Real, San Bruno Avenue and The Shops at Tanforan are close by, and the San Bruno BART and Caltrain stations and Highway 380 are a few minutes away.
