This is my rough estimate of Daly City neighborhoods.

• Northwest Corner: Broadmoor
• West Side: St. Francis Heights
• Southwest corner: Serramonte and/or Gellert
• Middle: Original Daly City

• Northeast Corner: Southern Hills

This is my personal observation of where the fog is most persistent in Daly City. Essentially it is the entire city. Coverage thickness tapers off after the San Bruno mountain to the East towards 101 and near Sneath Blvd in the South San Francisco-San Bruno border area.

Original Daly City is a 94014 ZIP and is mostly working class. It is an area that runs along Mission St. My guesstimate is the region below. I live in the Hillside sub-region of Original Daly City. Steep streets that run up the side of San Bruno mountain characterize this neighborhood.

Things seem cheaper in this area than 94015 ZIP neighborhoods. Adjacent houses touch wall-to-wall and lot sizes are smaller typically maxing out at 4,000 sq ft. It is generally more cramped than in the Daly City’s Western neighborhoods.

Mission Street is confusing. As you go South towards Costco it branches off to eventually rename as El Camino Real. El Camino Real stretches all the way down the peninsula to San Jose, I think. El Camino is the ultimate street for chain stores, malls, auto dealers everything. If you’re looking for a store and you don’t know where it might be, drive down El Camino. Chances are you will find it either on El Camino itself or within 1-2 blocks. This is not a hard and fast rule but it has served me well.
