Neighborhood Review

Key Words:

Tree-lined Streets, Mid-century Charm, Nature-infused Living

Westwood Knolls sits just West of El Camino Real, offering close access to restaurants and amenities, while offering a peaceful suburban vibe. The homes here are predominantly mid-century, with many properties meticulously maintained to showcase their original design integrity. The neighborhood's streetscape is characterized by well-kept gardens and mature trees, providing a visually pleasing environment. Over the years, some homeowners have modernized their abodes, adding contemporary flair while respecting the area's architectural roots. A short drive from Westwood Knolls is Laurelwood Park, a sprawling green space that is much more than a neighborhood park—it's a destination for hikers, nature lovers, and families alike. The park's well-maintained trails and the adjoining Sugarloaf Mountain offer a quick nature escape, boasting some of the best views in San Mateo. To encapsulate Westwood Knolls, it's a haven where the rush of city life fades into the background, yet never feels out of reach.
