324 Catalpa St

A low-rise, three-story condominium complex built in 1983 and configured for active-adult living. The property contains one-bedroom and studio residences arranged around interior corridors and corner orientations that provide private balconies or ground-level patios. Units often feature updated gourmet kitchens with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, maple or dark cabinetry, tiled entries, and walk-in closet or in-unit storage; some homes include planted shutters, hardwood or new carpeting, and small wine cellars referenced among interior amenities. Common areas are scaled to social engagement and convenience: each floor has a reception or recreation lounge with books and seating, shared laundry facilities near clusters of units, a larger ground-floor activity room with a kitchenette and outdoor patios, and adjacent guest/visitor seating. Site amenities include secured underground parking with assigned spaces, additional exterior storage rooms, and limited guest parking or street parking. Building services and rules reflect a 55+ occupant requirement, with HOA oversight of shared spaces and maintenance. Located within walking distance of downtown San Mateo — shops, restaurants, Caltrain station, movie theater, medical offices and Mills-Peninsula Hospital — the complex emphasizes pedestrian access, transit convenience, and a quiet, community-oriented lifestyle for older adults.
