the story
How Huntington Park & Lomita Park came to be
This guide joins two names used for the south end of San Bruno. Huntington Park is a recorded subdivision: county legal descriptions name Huntington Park and its 1st and 2nd Additions, filed in book 5 of the county's recorded maps, covering the 300 to 500 blocks of Acacia, Elm, Cypress, Hazel, Beech, Oak, Maple, Chestnut, Cherry and Poplar avenues and much of Jenevein Avenue. County records date most of its houses from the 1920s to the 1950s, with a median year of about 1940.
Other tracts fill in around it. The San Bruno Park 4th Addition lies west of El Camino Real south of Crystal Springs Road, and the 3rd Addition lies east of El Camino Real between Sylvan Avenue and Lomita Park; both have lots as small as about 2,500 square feet and houses from the 1920s on. El Crystal (De Soto, Balboa, Anza, Cabrillo and Portola ways) was built in 1942-43. The 1950s added San Bruno Heights on Donner Avenue and Palomar Court, Park View Terrace on Parkview Drive and Glen Avenue beside Junipero Serra County Park (1955-56), and Capuchino Village on Lomita Avenue and Emalita Court (1955-57).
Lomita Park is the strip east of El Camino Real near the Millbrae line, platted as Lomita Park Subdivision Nos. 1, 2 and 3, with houses from the 1910s to the 1960s (median 1937). It is sometimes described as unincorporated, but the 2020 Census city boundary and the city's parcel records put its residential blocks inside the City of San Bruno, and San Mateo LAFCo's 2018 list of unincorporated islands has no Lomita Park island. What does differ is the school district, covered below.
streets and homes
The streets and the houses
West of El Camino Real the tree-named avenues of Mills Park continue south (Acacia, Elm, Linden, Poplar, Cypress, Hazel, Beech, Oak, Maple, Chestnut, Cherry and Cedar), crossed by Jenevein, Clark and Niles avenues. Crystal Springs Road angles southwest from El Camino Real past City Park to I-280; the city code lists the stretch from Oak Avenue to I-280 as a scenic corridor, so projects that would widen or realign it need voter approval. Lomita Park's grid runs between El Camino Real and the tracks on San Anselmo, San Antonio, San Benito, San Diego, San Felipe, San Luis, San Marco, Santa Clara, Santa Dominga, Santa Helena, Santa Inez, Santa Lucia and Santa Maria avenues.
Housing is older and more varied than in Mills Park. The city's parcel data counts about 2,250 parcels with houses, roughly 140 of them built before 1920, and R-2 zoning on about 720 parcels, mostly east of El Camino Real. Duplexes, fourplexes and small apartment buildings are scattered through the San Bruno Park 3rd Addition, and in Lomita Park only about 140 of 347 parcels are single houses; the rest include nearly 60 buildings of 5 to 19 units, duplexes and lots with more than one house.
Lot sizes follow the tract: about 2,500 to 4,000 square feet in the older San Bruno Park additions, 5,000 in Huntington Park, El Crystal and Capuchino Village, about 5,400 in Park View Terrace and about 6,700 in San Bruno Heights. Along El Camino Real south of Crystal Springs Road the General Plan's Multi Use-Residential Focus designation favors multifamily housing in new projects.

Buying or selling in Huntington Park & Lomita Park: what we check
Buying here
- Confirm the elementary district for the exact address: west of El Camino Real is San Bruno Park SD, but Lomita Park and Capuchino Village are Millbrae School District on Census maps.
- Flood maps: FEMA Zone AH (shallow ponding, base flood elevation 16-17 feet) touches about a dozen Lomita Park parcels on San Antonio, San Marco and Santa Dominga avenues, and a Zone D strip (flood hazard undetermined) runs along Crystal Springs Road, Poplar Avenue and the Florida, Georgia, Taylor and Milton avenue blocks. Check the FIRM panel for the parcel and what your lender requires.
- Liquefaction: the state's seismic hazard maps put about 550 parcels here in a liquefaction zone, especially along Poplar, Cypress, Acacia, Elm, Hazel, Oak, Linden and Jenevein avenues; it appears on the natural hazard disclosure and can mean a soils report for big projects.
- Older houses and extra units: with many 1910s-1940s houses, check foundations, wiring, sewer laterals and the permit record, and verify the legal unit count with the city before you count on duplex or ADU rent.
- Fire maps: about 100 parcels by Junipero Serra County Park (Glen Avenue, Donner Avenue, Parkview Drive and Court, Scenic Court, Serra Court) are in a Moderate zone on the 2025 state maps; check the parcel and insurance.
Selling here
- State the school district with a district confirmation, since buyers often assume every San Bruno address is in the San Bruno Park district.
- Document units: permits for any duplex, ADU or converted space, plus current leases and rent records.
- Order the natural hazard disclosure and, in Zone AH, any elevation certificate early so flood and liquefaction results are known before offers.
- Give straight-line distances to City Park and the Recreation and Aquatic Center, Junipero Serra County Park and the San Bruno and Millbrae stations.
