San Mateo Terrace, located between El Camino Real and Hillsdale Boulevard, is a residential and hillside San Mateo neighborhood with curving streets and bay-facing outlooks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the 25th Avenue and Hacienda Street corridor, where a small run of local storefronts and everyday errands sets the tempo. Mid-century ranch homes and tidy postwar builds define the streetscape, with pockets of mature trees and sloped lots. Central Park’s Japanese Garden and the San Mateo Public Library add a civic, walkable counterpoint to the quieter blocks. Hillsdale Shopping Center and the Caltrain station keep the area connected to dining, retail, and commuting rhythms. Fieldwork Brewing Company and the historic San Mateo County History Museum anchor local culture beyond the residential grid.

Local insights from Redfin agents
San Mateo stayed one of the Peninsula's busiest markets. Homes averaged 110% of asking price, and buyers continue to compete for updated homes in neighborhoods like Aragon, Baywood and Beresford Park.
