South San Francisco Neighborhoods Ranked by Price per Square Foot (2026)
by
South San Francisco has 9 neighborhood guides on our site. To see how they compare on price, we took the 146 South San Francisco houses, condos and townhomes that sold in the 180 days to October 27, 2026, placed the 145 with a map position and a living area on the map, and found the median price per square foot inside each guide’s outline. 145 of those sales landed inside at least one guide. Across the city, the median was $840 per square foot for all homes and $901 for houses.
The short answer
- Highest median price per square foot (guides with at least 10 sales): Avalon, Brentwood & Southwood ($1,090, 21 sales), Winston Manor ($1,005, 13 sales) and Serra Highlands & Buri Buri ($1,000, 17 sales).
- Lowest: Paradise Valley & Terrabay ($825, 11 sales) and Westborough & West Park ($769, 46 sales).
- All 9 guides had 5 or more sales in the window, enough to rank here.
- Top to bottom, the highest-ranked guide sold for 1.5 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.
