Cordes

The Original San Carlos – Where you can have it All!

ABOUT CORDES

Cordes has all the best of San Carlos: high-end homes on the hills, entry-level homes in flat areas near downtown, plus top schools and three recreation parks within proximity. Known as the “original” San Carlos, some homes date back to the 1800s.

OLDEST NEIGHBORHOOD

The oldest home ever built in San Carlos, the Arguello Adobe, is located in this area. Many homes in this neighborhood were built in the 1930s.

AFFORDABLE HOMES

Homes near Downtown tend to be pricey, but in this neighborhood they are more affordable than the houses in Howard Park and El Sereno.

HIGH-END HOMES

Cordes hosts a mix of both high-end and entry-level houses. The more expensive homes tend to be located in the hills.

HILLY AND FLAT AREAS

The neighborhood has a mix of hilly and flat terrains with the flat areas being near Downtown.

NEAR DOWNTOWN

Homes in Lower Cordes are walking distance to Downtown San Carlos and public transportation.

TOP SCHOOLS

San Carlos generally has high-ranking schools. Arundel and Mariposa Elementary plus Tierra Linda Middle School apply to this neighborhood.

LOTS OF PARKS

Arguello, Cedar Street, and Hillcrest Circle Parks – with playgrounds, baseball, and/or soccer fields – are located here.

RICH IN HISTORY

Cordes was once called the “Poverty Hill” due to the failed attempt to turn it into a “Hillsborough-like” region during the Great Depression.
