EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Prime 8,800+ Sq Ft Corner Lot
This well-located five-unit property sits on a prominent corner lot in one of San Mateo’s most strategic and in-demand locations. All five units have been upgraded, and property inspection reports are buyer-favorable. Zoned R-4, the property supports higher-density residential development, offering meaningful value-add potential for investors or developers.
With an exceptional 94 Walk Score, 126 N Ellsworth is just 1.5 blocks from Caltrain and steps to Downtown San Mateo’s core business district, dining, and retail. This central, transit-oriented location consistently supports strong tenant demand and historically low vacancy, driven by immediate access to the Peninsula’s leading AI, tech, and biotech employers.
