Living in Homestead & Husing
Homestead & Husing is a central San Mateo neighborhood built on the former Borel estate, which its owner sold off piecemeal over the years; by 1961 most of it had been subdivided. North of Barneson Avenue and west of Maple Street, its bungalows, Craftsmans and Spanish-style homes from the 1920s and '30s resemble neighboring Aragon, while tidy three-bedroom ranches from the World War II era sit closer to the shopping center. It's been one of the city's strongest performers: the median rose about 74% from 2015–16 to 2024–25, well ahead of the city's 63%, and 2026 sales so far have averaged about 112% of asking, with a 12-month median around $2.37M.
Parking & walkability: Most homes have a driveway and a garage, and street parking is generally easy. El Camino Real's shops, the Hayward Park Caltrain station and Central Park are a short walk or bike ride for much of the area, and Highway 92 and 101 are close by.
