Blog > San Bruno Neighborhoods Ranked by Price per Square Foot (2026)
San Bruno has 7 neighborhood guides on our site. To see how they compare on price, we took the 118 San Bruno houses, condos and townhomes that sold in the 180 days to October 27, 2026; all 118 had a map position and a living area, so we placed them on the map and found the median price per square foot inside each guide’s outline. 118 of those sales landed inside at least one guide. Across the city, the median was $910 per square foot for all homes and $1,025 for houses.
The short answer
- Highest median price per square foot (guides with at least 10 sales): Mills Park ($1,161, 11 sales), Rollingwood & Monte Verde ($1,067, 20 sales) and Huntington Park & Lomita Park ($998, 16 sales).
- Lowest: Pacific Heights & Portola Highlands ($904, 18 sales) and Crestmoor & Shelter Creek ($741, 40 sales).
- All 7 guides had 5 or more sales in the window, enough to rank here.
- Top to bottom, the highest-ranked guide sold for 1.6 times as much per square foot as the lowest-ranked one.

Reading it right
- A ranking summarizes recent sales; it isn’t a verdict on a neighborhood. Price per square foot moves with home size, age, lot, condition and the mix of homes that happened to sell, and a higher number says nothing about which neighborhood is right for you.
- Each sale counts once. No sale here falls inside two of our guide outlines.
- Small samples swing. Each row shows its sale count; a guide with 6 sales can move a lot when one more home closes.
- Bigger homes often sell for less per foot, so compare guides with similar homes, or use the houses-only table.
