About Hillside Gardens
Surrounded on three sides by forested hillsides, enjoy the peaceful and breathtaking views of the San Mateo Hills while you lounge at our resort-style pool and sundeck. Our spacious one- and two-bedroom floor plans feature large private patios, high ceilings, and generous windows. Two large interior courtyards with mature trees are wonderful for pets and their people to play in! Appreciate the perks of having a 24-hour fitness center, onsite management and a secure package delivery room. We are close to transit, Hwy 92 and 280, College of San Mateo, and just one block from a wonderful shopping area with bakeries, coffee shops, salons, pet care, restaurants, and a 24 Hour Grocery (with delivery!). It's all here at Hillside Garden.

Joke Management
June 10, 2024So when you live here and you need to get a hold of a manager or one of the leasing people, Good luck. When you called the number it just goes to an answering service to take your information and say someone will call you back. No one ever calls you back. If you go to the leasing office there's never anybody in it.Review from Apartments.com

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on scale of 1 (below average) and to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
