Although every household in the San Mateo-Foster City School District is assigned to a neighborhood school, parents have many choices for their children. Parents can choose to send their child to their assigned neighborhood school, apply to transfer to another neighborhood school, or apply to one of the Magnet schools.



All that construction noise, digging and dust across from the new San Mateo police station is for the upcoming Kaiser medical building.  The 4.22-acre  site will be “a 3-story, 64,700 square foot medical office building with 300 surface parking spaces. ”

The site was originally approved for a Hotel W but because of the downturn in the economy a permit was never submitted.

Kaiser plans to use the site for additional services to its 40,000 San Mateo County residents who are north of Redwood City.  It’s proposed to hold pediatric, obstetrics, gynecologist, radiology, a pharmacy, and optical services.

The ground floor will be a conference room center and health library both open to the public.

It’s been designed to meet Leadership and Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards with its attention to indoor air quality, water efficiency and use of sustainable materials.

The Borel Family is deeply entrenched in San Mateo’s history.  Alfred Borel came to California from Switzerland in 1855 with money to invest in California prosperity. He operated as a commission banker and bought and sold anything that would turn a profit for his Swiss investors.

Alfred’s brother Antoine came in 1861 until his death in 1915.  Antoine operated a private bank where money deposited was invested on behalf of the clients.  He later became the director of Bank of California. Antoine was also a director of the Spring Valley Water Company and he ran the California Street Railroad.

“Antoine had married a local girl Grace Canitrot and they had five daughters and two sons. One son, Alfred, died at the age of 4. Three of their daughters married. Alice married Aylett Cotton, who later became a judge. Sophie married John M. Lewis. Grace met and married Louis Bovet in Switzerland , although they came to live on the family property in San Mateo. Guadalupe and Chonita remained single. The remaining son Antoine A. Borel married Mardie McMahon. After both Alice and John Lewis died, Sophie married Aylett Cotton, her former brother-in-law.”

In 1980, Miller Ream, along with Borel’s great grandsons Hal and Ron Fick, formed The Borel Bank.  The headquarters are still on the grounds of the former Borel Estate in San Mateo.  Other family enterprises include Borel Place Associates and The Borel Estate Company.

Living In Earthquake Country

I just had a conversation with a San Mateo home buyer who doesn’t want to live near an earthquake fault. If you don’t want to ever risk being in an earthquake, you don’t want to live here.

The San Andreas Fault – the largest fault in North America – is in our backyard. In fact, I walk the adjacent trail every Thursday (above).

Friends from Florida think it’s crazy to live here; I think it’s crazier to live where there are hurricanes. No matter where you live you can’t hide from Mother Nature.

Earthquake Preparedness For San Mateo Residents

The City of San Mateo’s Community Emergency Response Team has a variety of downloadable literature and forms to help you get ready for the inevitable. There’s also a free class available.

If you don’t have a lot of time at least get the items on this list.

San Mateo Renters Beware

Tweeters have been tweeting.  Also heard about it happening in San Francisco. But now it hit San Mateo.

Scammers are finding vacant houses on craigslist, changing the locks and renting them to unsuspecting people.

Unfortunate victims pay rent and security, then move in to find out they have to move right back out because they rented from a scammer instead of the actual home owner.  Where’s their money?  Gone.  By the time the scam is discovered their money is long gone.

Craigslist is still the best source for a lot of things, including renting a house in San Mateo, but beware!

Hey – that rhymes – almost.  I must be tired.  Anyway, I had to be in Half Moon Bay this morning at o’dark thirty.  The steam was coming up off the Crystal Springs Reservoir – it was gorgeous.  I didn’t realize how eerie the picture would be and I didn’t realize how dang dark it was at that time of the morning.
