Living on the Peninsula
San Mateo has a walkable downtown, Caltrain service to San Francisco and San Jose, and the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge across the bay. Employment is driven by technology, biotech and finance. Neighbourhoods include Hillsdale, Baywood and Central San Mateo; the city has parks and a mild climate. Fog and wind are common in summer. Sizes are modest, with a 134 m² median, because many condos and older bungalows are included; newer townhouses near Bay Meadows and the Hillsdale area command a premium for walkability and transit. Tenants in the area are largely tech and healthcare staff, which supports rental demand, but rent rules and condo-association caps on leasing should be checked before buying to let.
San Mateo's appeal is the commute: it works for two-city workers.
Foreign buyers in California
There are no restrictions on non-US purchasers. California reassesses property tax at purchase, at roughly 1% plus local assessments, and FIRPTA withholding of 15% applies on non-resident sales. Foreign-national lenders require 30 to 40% down. Condos come with HOA fees, which should be reviewed. See the US buying guide and mortgage guide.
Peninsula neighbours
Belmont, San Carlos, Redwood City, Menlo Park and Palo Alto lie along the Peninsula. San Leandro is in the East Bay, across the bridge. See United States property.
