San Mateo is one of the larger cities on the Peninsula and a true hub, sitting midway between San Francisco and Silicon Valley with a lively downtown and established neighborhoods. It grew as a Peninsula center and kept a walkable core while spreading from the bay to the hills.
B Street anchors a busy downtown, Central Park holds a serene Japanese garden, Coyote Point reaches the bay shoreline, and the Hillsdale district anchors shopping to the south. Caltrain links the city up and down the Peninsula, the housing runs from bungalows to larger homes, and roughly 105,000 people live here.
