San Bruno Park Homes and Neighborhood Guide
San Bruno neighborhood guide
San Bruno Park covers much of central San Bruno, around the downtown stretch of San Mateo Avenue and west toward El Camino Real, with Interstate 380 running through it.
San Bruno incorporated in 1914, largely so its streets could be paved, and many of the homes here date from the decades that followed, when the town grew quickly after the 1906 earthquake.
It is one of the more attainable single family areas on the Peninsula, with the San Bruno Caltrain station, San Bruno BART at The Shops at Tanforan and San Bruno City Park all close by.
