San Mateo Village

San Mateo Village is arguable the most popular and sought-after “starter” home neighborhood in San Mateo

Increased popularity has meant rising prices for San Mateo Village real estate. Homes for sale now range from $575,000 all the way up to $800,000 and above.

History

Between the beginning of World War II and 1950, San Mateo’s population grew from less than 20,000 to almost 50,000. To accommodate its booming citizenry, San Mateo began annexing land to the south, including several hundred acres of the former McClellan Ranch. Some of this land became Bay Meadows Racetrack. Located north of Hillsdale Boulevard and built on the site of an airfield, Bay Meadows became an important part of city lore before closing in 2008.

The land south of Hillsdale Boulevard had a different destiny. In 1950, Hansen Homes, Inc. began residential development on the former McClellan estate. Their project would become Glendale Village, a subdivision of modest, three- and four-bedroom ranch-style homes that is now better known as San Mateo Village, after the larger adjacent development built by Conway and Culligan between the late 1940s and early 1950s.
