The vibe
Working-class roots becoming more polished. BART, SFO 5 minutes away, mid-century ranch architecture, walkable downtown on San Mateo Ave.
Who loves it
Bay Area buyers priced out of Burlingame/Millbrae who want comparable Peninsula access for $500K less.
What it isn't
Quiet. SFO flight paths are real. Some streets are noisier than others.

Insider note from Roger
Crestmoor + Rollingwood (above the freeway noise) are the best long-term holds. Pacific Heights of San Bruno is a real thing locals know about.
