Make the Most of Your Foster City Stay

A planned community on the water

Foster City stands apart as a meticulously engineered community built on reclaimed marshland in the 1960s, where 212 acres of interconnected lagoons define daily life. The waterways serve as both a sophisticated drainage system and recreational centerpiece, with residents and visitors paddleboarding, kayaking, and cruising in electric boats. More than 200 mid-century Eichler homes dot the curving streets, offering architecture enthusiasts a glimpse of California's modernist residential heritage.

Business hub with waterfront appeal

The Metro Center district anchors Foster City's professional landscape between San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Business travelers will find the Crowne Plaza near the San Mateo Bridge provides convenient Highway 92 access, while Leo J. Ryan Memorial Park's 20-acre waterfront offers scenic jogging paths and boardwalks. The dining scene features family-friendly establishments and casual waterfront spots like those at Edgewater Place, with Thai cuisine or pizza overlooking the lagoons—though nearby San Mateo delivers more upscale evening options.

Strategic Peninsula location

San Francisco International Airport sits just 15 minutes north, making Foster City an accessible base for exploring the Peninsula. Easy day trips reach San Francisco's landmarks, Stanford University in Palo Alto, or Half Moon Bay's coastal beauty. While the community maintains a deliberately quiet atmosphere with limited nightlife, its water-focused lifestyle and proximity to major destinations create an appealing alternative to busier urban centers.
