“As of late December, San Bruno recorded just over one month of available housing inventory, which is extremely low,” said Natasha Zabaneh, President of City Ventures. “The Highlands is a fresh and much-needed option for buyers seeking to set roots in this high-demand, fast-moving market. Best of all, this community offers that perfect balance of Bay Area convenience and scenic nature at your doorstep.”

Top-rated neighborhood schools, diverse dining options, world-class shopping, and major tech hubs like YouTube are all within reach from The Highlands, offering countless benefits that are close to home while enjoying the Bay Area's most thriving scenes. Plus, outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the many nearby parks and trails, including Junipero Serra’s stunning panoramic views. Daily commuting and travel are easy, with quick access to freeways, BART, trains, and the airport.

The Highlands’ spacious, tri-level townhomes range from approximately 1,425 to 1,760 square feet with three to four bedrooms, two-and-a-half to four baths, and two-car garages. Unlike other new-construction neighborhoods, City Ventures integrates advanced technology and features into every home at no additional cost, including all-electric construction, owned solar panels, water filtration systems, Nest thermostats, Ring doorbells, keyless entry, energy-efficient appliances, and more. “Our homes bring more than style and comfort—they’re built for the future,” said Zabaneh. “Buyers can save on energy costs while living a more eco-conscious lifestyle at The Highlands. That’s a win for today, and for years to come.”

Each floorplan at The Highlands is meticulously designed to enhance everyday living while maximizing functionality. Beautiful, thoughtfully appointed kitchens—the heart of every home—feature designer-inspired backsplashes, countertops, and soft-close cabinets and drawers. Private outdoor decks, on select plans, create the perfect spot for sipping coffee while watching the sunrise, or hosting an alfresco dinner with friends. Thoughtful designs include a first-floor den, ideal for a home office or exercise room, and a main-level bedroom with adjacent bath. Upstairs, an impressive primary suite showcases a resort-inspired bath, featuring a standalone tub and modern finishes throughout. Dual closets provide ample storage space, while a same-level laundry area adds everyday convenience. Secondary bedrooms offer plenty of natural light, generous space, and beautifully designed en-suite baths.

“The Highlands is not your everyday community,” said Zabaneh. “We’re especially excited to share the incredible views from here. Imagine relaxing on your deck, soaking in the serene nature while still catching the thrill of airplanes soaring from SFO just beyond the horizon. There’s nothing out there like it! Don’t miss your chance to experience The Highlands lifestyle yourself this weekend.”
