Good area, lots of families and first time homebuyers there. My grandmother used to live in that area (on Folkstone) as did my sister in law (on Birch). I also have a client on Sunnybrae Blvd., and it's definitely an area that will hold its value over time. The demographic there also has quite a bit of rentals there as well, so keep that in mind

Hi there,

I am a realtor with ReMax and do quite a bit of business in the San Mateo area. First, looking at the recent sales statistics for Sunnybrae, 14 homes haves sold in that particular area in the last 6 months. Of those 14 sales, 7 have sold above the asking price. The remaining 7 have sold within 2% of the list price. So it is an area that is not only holding its prices, but perhaps slightly exceeding the appreciation rates in other comparable neighborhoods.

Over the past three years I have moved three families into Sunnybrae. I still speak with them and none have ever mentioned any type of concern with crime.

Hope this helps!
