Discover this cozy, move-in-ready top-floor condo, offering serene nature views and abundant sunlight. Ideal for those seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle. Note: the building does not have an elevator, which provides a bit of daily exercise.:)
The Northeast Ridge, located between San Bruno Mountain State & County Park and Bayshore Boulevard, is a hillside and residential Brisbane neighborhood with ridge-top views and winding, eucalyptus-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Visitacion Avenue at Bayshore Boulevard, where a small-town strip of local cafes, corner markets, and community noticeboards sets the daily rhythm. Brisbane Inn anchors the scene with a classic bar-and-grill feel, while Brisbane Community Park and the Mission Blue Center at San Bruno Mountain add a civic-and-nature counterpoint. Homes lean toward mid-century and late-20th-century builds stepped into the slope, with decks and terraced yards. Trails and lookout points shape an outdoors-forward routine, and fog-and-sun shifts change the mood block by block. The geography reads as tucked against the mountain, with the Bay’s edge close enough to frame the horizon.
