Just 30 minutes south of San Francisco is where you’ll find San Mateo. A bayfront locale that lacks the commotion of San Fran, San Mateo affords residents all the scenic appeal of the Bay Area at a more acceptable price point.
Centrally located among the major Bay Area communities, renting an apartment in San Mateo puts you just a short drive away from Oakland, Palo Alto, San Jose, and of course San Francisco. The region’s natural attractions are close at hand as well, with the city just minutes from the sprawling Rancho Corral de Tierra and the popular Coyote Point Recreation Area overlooking San Francisco Bay — large in-town parks like Laurelwood Park and Bay Meadows Park make it even easier to enjoy time outdoors.
San Mateo has one of the largest and most developed downtown districts in the region, with scores of exotic restaurants, the sprawling Hillsdale Shopping Center, and beautifully-preserved historic buildings.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at Hillside Gardens
So when you live here and you need to get a hold of a manager or one of the leasing people, Good luck. When you called the number it just goes to an answering service to take your information and say someone will call you back. No one ever calls you back. If you go to the leasing office there's never anybody in it.
