VALLEMAR

Living in VALLEMAR

Vallemar feels distinctly different from Pacifica’s beachside neighborhoods. Mature trees line winding streets, Calera Creek meanders through the neighborhood, and homes sit among gardens, established landscaping, and the surrounding hills. There’s an almost storybook quality to it—quiet, green, and surprisingly tucked away for a neighborhood this close to the coast and Highway 1.

Linda Mar Homes

Most homes in Linda Mar are ranchers and elevated ranchers, ranging from original to fully remodeled. You’ll also find custom-built modern homes throughout the neighborhood.

Location within Linda Mar matters. The flatter streets closer to the beach offer a different setting than homes farther into the hills, where elevation and orientation can open up ocean and valley views.

VALLEMAR Homes

Vallemar’s homes reflect the character of the neighborhood itself. Bungalows and mid-century homes sit alongside thoughtfully remodeled properties and larger custom homes, with plenty of variation in architecture, lot size, and setting.

Lot orientation, elevation, sun exposure, and setting can change considerably from one street to the next. Some homes sit beneath mature trees on the valley floor, while others are positioned higher along the surrounding hills, where the right elevation and orientation can open up views toward the ocean. It’s a neighborhood where the individual property matters as much as the neighborhood name.

THE VALLEMAR LIFESTYLE

Vallemar offers a quieter, more tucked-away version of Pacifica living. While much of Pacifica’s activity naturally gravitates toward the beaches and coastline, Vallemar sits just off the beaten path of Highway 1, largely removed from the flow of visitors coming through town. It’s part of what gives the neighborhood so much of its charm—and why plenty of people who know Pacifica’s beaches well have no idea Vallemar is here.

Kids riding bikes through the neighborhood and playing near the creek is still a pretty ordinary sight here. Rockaway Beach, Mori Point, Linda Mar Beach, and the coastal trails are all nearby. You’re close to much of what draws people to Pacifica, while daily life in Vallemar feels distinctly its own.

Shopping, Dining, & Local Favorites

Vallemar is almost entirely residential, but some of Pacifica’s best local spots are just minutes away. Rockaway Beach is nearby for restaurants and coffee, while Oceana Market and Linda Mar Shopping Center cover groceries and everyday essentials. Head north or south on Highway 1 and most of Pacifica is within easy reach.

PACIFICA SCHOOLS

Vallemar is served by the Pacifica School District and Jefferson Union High School District. Local public schools include Vallemar School, Ingrid B. Lacy Middle School, and Terra Nova High School. School boundaries and enrollment eligibility can change, so buyers should verify current assignments directly with the appropriate school district.

COMMUTING FROM VALLEMAR

Vallemar sits near the center of Pacifica with quick access to Highway 1, making it particularly well positioned for getting north toward San Francisco and Daly City or connecting to I-280 for SFO, South San Francisco, and the Peninsula. Colma BART and the South San Francisco biotech corridor are also within practical range.

Vallemar’s location is one of those things that can be easy to underestimate on a map. The neighborhood feels tucked away once you’re in it, but getting back to Highway 1 takes only minutes.
