What makes San Bruno unique and why is it a great place to buy a home?
San Bruno is a city that offers the perfect balance for a home buyer, especially for new home buyers looking for their starter home. The location, the downtown scene, and the weather are all high points that recommend it!
The location of San Bruno, between San Francisco and Silicon Valley, gives any home buyer a convenient compromise for those couples who may be working areas, as many couples in the area do. Also, getting to downtown San Francisco is faster from San Bruno than from the Sunset District of SF because of the easy access to the 101 and 280 freeways!
San Bruno is also very close to SFO and has a friendly business climate. The class “A” office spaces have attracted companies such as Walmart.com, YouTube and United Airlines! Lastly, the northern part of San Bruno is considered the “end of the fog line” meaning you will have more warm and sunny days while living in San Bruno, as compared to many parts of San Francisco.
All of these things and more make San Bruno an amazing city to live in and a great place to buy a home, raise a family and work!
How is the housing market in San Bruno these days?
The housing market in San Bruno is recovering in the same manner as the rest of the peninsula, thankfully! It’s still strong for selling homes that are in good condition with competitive prices. There are also still homes that need some cosmetic upgrades, if you’re looking for a mild fixer upper!
Essentially these homes have become “stale” on the market due to faulty marketing techniques which gives a buyer the opportunity to find some really attractive deals! It helps when you work with a local agent who knows the area and inventory and is willing to dig a little to find these deals!
What makes San Bruno a great place to live?
Having grown-up in San Bruno, I’m admittedly a little biased as to the fantastic things offered by living here. But, there are a few things I think other people should know when looking for an area in The Peninsula to live.
It’s true what they say, it’s all about “LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!” San Bruno is minutes to San Francisco, so commuting is not a big hassle. It’s close to the ocean so you can enjoy time on the beach and driving along the coast. And, it’s minutes to San Francisco Internation Airport so it’s easy for friends to visit or for you to jet-off to anywhere in the world!
San Bruno also has a very diverse population and offers affordable housing including condos, townhomes, and single family homes. The weather in the area is fantastic, the schools are stellar, and there are outstanding park and recreation areas around to enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds you. We also have great Senior Services in the area!
No matter what you’re looking for specifically, I’m sure there’s some part of San Bruno that can meet your needs. I was raised here, love the area, and love introducing new people to what my city has to offer!
