Baywood Park San Mateo, CA
Unincorporated Highlands-Baywood Park, west of San Mateo near Highway 92, with single-family homes.
Living in Baywood Park
Baywood Park, along with neighboring Enchanted Hills, is part of unincorporated Highlands-Baywood Park, a narrow strip between Joseph Eichler's Highlands and Parrott Drive, from Crystal Springs Road to Highway 92. It was developed late by San Mateo standards, and many homes near the Hillsborough border echo that town's long, low postwar ranch style on 7,000 to 9,000 square-foot lots. There were 26 sales in the last 12 months at a median around $2.79M, and 2026 sales so far have moved quickly, a median of 7 days at about 109% of asking.
Parking & walkability: Most homes have a driveway and a garage, and the residential streets are generally easy to park on. The hilly streets make it a driving neighborhood, but Highway 92 and 280 are right there, and downtown San Mateo and the Hillsdale area are a short drive away.
