700 gull ave, foster city
700 Gull Avenue sits in Foster City, a mid-peninsula community built on landfill and marshland along the western shore of the Bay. The address places the home within a planned environment of lagoons, parks, and curving residential streets laid out in the 1960s. Foster City's flat topography and engineered waterways give the area a distinct character—more suburban than its hillside neighbors, with easy access to both San Francisco International Airport and the broader Peninsula corridor. The street name itself reflects the city's avian-themed naming convention, a nod to the wetland habitat that preceded development.
Foster City offers a car-dependent layout, with a Walk Score of 45 reflecting its suburban design. Residents drive thirteen minutes to San Francisco International Airport and forty-four minutes to Downtown San Francisco. Leo J. Ryan Park, Bridgeview Park, and Gull Park provide green space along the lagoon system. Nearby dining includes Sweet Basil Thai Cuisine and Joy Restaurant, while Penelope's Coffee and Tea serves the local cafe circuit. Stanford University lies twenty-four minutes south by car. The city's network of paths and levees traces the water's edge, offering flat terrain for walking and cycling within the community.
- Foster City was incorporated in 1971 and remains one of the few master-planned communities on the Peninsula, with nearly all land reclaimed and developed by a single entity over a concentrated period.
- Brewer Island Elementary and Bowditch Middle School both carry GreatSchools ratings of 9 out of 10, with Audubon Elementary rated 7 out of 10—all within one mile of the address.
- The city's levee system and storm-drain network were engineered to manage tidal fluctuations and seismic risk, a consideration for any buyer evaluating long-term holding in a bayside location.
Walk Score® rates an address from 0–100 by how easily everyday errands — groceries, coffee, dining, school pickup — can be done on foot. 50+ means some errands can be walked, 70+ means most can, and 90+ is a rare walker's paradise. Transit and Bike scores read the same way for public transportation and cycling.
Ratings are GreatSchools Summary Ratings on a 1–10 scale, based on test scores, student progress, and college readiness — 8–10 is above average, 5–7 average, 1–4 below average. Schools shown are the closest rated options within five miles. Attendance boundaries change; always verify enrollment eligibility directly with the school district.
