Westlake Heights Daly City Homes and Neighborhood Guide

Daly City neighborhood guide

Westlake Heights is a small pocket of single family homes on the western, ocean side of Daly City, near Northridge Drive and Menlo Avenue.

It sits within the broader Westlake area, which builder Henry Doelger began developing in 1949 on former sand dunes and farmland. Westlake's uniform houses later inspired Malvina Reynolds' 1962 song Little Boxes.

Mussel Rock and the coastal bluffs are a short walk west, and Westlake Shopping Center, one of the first shopping centers in the Bay Area, is a short drive north.
