Peninsula Living: 5 Reasons to Buy a Home in San Mateo County, California
If this picture of springtime at Edgewood County Park doesn't convince you, here are 5 more reasons to move to San Mateo County:
- San Mateo County has thousands of acres of parkland and open space preserves: great places to enjoy before and after work as well as on days off. Hike, run, bike, ride horses, kayak, wind surf, fly kites, picnic, swim, study wildflowers and native plants, take photos -- there's something here for everyone!
- San Mateo County is home to numerous musical performance groups, including: the Peninsula Symphony Orchestra, a professional-caliber orchestra that regularly performs at the San Mateo Center for the Performing Arts as well as at the Flint Center in neighboring Santa Clara County; the Redwood Symphony entertains us at Canada College, and the Peninsula Cantare gives us beautiful choral concerts.
- San Mateo County stimulates the mind! Canada College, College of San Mateo, Skyline College and Notre Dame de Namur offer classes, sponsor lectures, provide theater experiences and music recitals that appeal to residents of all ages and with varying interests. Local groups and independent bookstores, like Kepler's Books in Menlo Park, bring best-selling authors like Barbara Kingsolver and Khaled Hosseini to speak with us.
- San Mateo County welcomes businesses. It is home to corporations like Oracle, Tesla Motors (designers of high performance electric cars), United Airlines, Electronic Arts, and numerous pharmaceutical companies.
- San Mateo County has great weather in a great location of California! Located along the Peninsula, from bay to ocean, it sits between San Francisco to the north and Palo Alto/Stanford University in Santa Clara County. "Climate best by Government test" is the slogan of Redwood City, the seat of County government.
If you are considering relocating to one of the bayside communities in San Mateo County, let's talk. It's hard for me to believe, but I've lived in San Mateo County for close to 40 years now, and love helping others find just the right place in which to settle.
--- Just another benefit of living here!
