In San Mateo's historic Hayward Park, you will find a neighborhood that offers both established charm and value; it's a neighborhood like no other. Hayward Park has an enviable combination of downtown proximity, timeless architecture, and flat tree-lined streets.
Hayward Park has been mostly untouched over the years by development and still maintains its original charm and historic feel. The neighborhood is walking distance to downtown San Mateo and is anchored by Central Park to the north, San Mateo’s largest and most popular public park.
Hayward Park real estate has plenty going for it. The neighborhood is characterized by tree-lined residential streets and is located within an easy walk of San Mateo’s vibrant downtown. Bordered by El Camino Real (west), South B Street (east), 10th Avenue to the north and roughly 17th Avenue to the south, the district is full of attractive, vintage homes built during the first three decades of the 20th century. Early homes (a few built before World War I) are in the Craftsman style popular at the time. Far more are the Tudors, Mediterraneans and English cottages in vogue during the 1920s.
History:
“What New Rochelle is to New York, what Evanston is to Chicago, Hayward Park will become to San Francisco, the home town of the class of professional men and women of refinement and intellect.” Such was developer Baldwin & Howell’s ambition, expressed in a 1907 sales brochure, for the San Mateo neighborhood built on the former deer paddock of banker Alvinia Hayward’s estate. Hayward built his home, also called Hayward Park, in 1880. It later became the Peninsula Hotel, only to burn spectacularly to the ground in 1920.
What Baldwin & Howell envisioned eventually came to life in San Mateo Park. The neighborhood has enjoyed a recent surge in popularity as an alternative to other close-in districts like Baywood and Aragon, though at much more affordable prices.
Your home is centrally located making it a commuter's paradise. Close to three major freeways: 101, 280 and 92. Close to Bart and Caltrain for your commute up and down the Peninsula
SF, South and East Bay. In fact, Hayward Park neighborhood has its very own train station. Walk to downtown San Mateo through Central Park!
