Clearfield Park, San Carlos Homes for Sale

The neighborhood

Clearfield Park San Carlos homes for sale with unbeatable value.

Clearfield Park — the Murphy tract, MLS Area 354 — is San Carlos's entry-level neighborhood, built shortly after World War II by builder Murphy starting in 1948. Legend has it the homes were built of cinderblocks originally slated for wartime bunker-building, and many exteriors have since been stuccoed over into charming cottages.

Most original homes were under 1,000 square feet with two or three bedrooms, and they trade at near-condominium prices — a rare value in San Carlos. Laureola Park anchors recreation, and the neighborhood is genuinely walkable to downtown's Laurel Street and Caltrain. South of Hall Street the area turns industrial, a reminder of the district's role in early Silicon Valley history, and San Carlos Airport sits just across Highway 101.
