Consciously Crafted
Lace up those tennies, because this place is walkable with a capital W. The Caltrain station is just 280 steps (we counted) away, and B Street is literally at your doorstep. Downtown San Mateo has a nearly limitless selection of happy hour spots, wine bars, cozy restaurants, and boutique fitness studios. All so close with so much to explore. Brickline Flats offers far more than just gorgeous studio and one-bedroom homes; it also offers maximum natural light and sweeping views to the west from the rooftop deck. The second-floor courtyard has cozy lounge seating and fire pits for unwinding. And for aspiring pizzaiolos, our rooftop deck offers a chef's kitchen, a custom Forzo Bravo pizza oven, and a rooftop garden with fresh herbs and veggies.
