What Type of Neighborhood is Baywood?

An eclectic mix of Spanish, Tudor, Colonial, Monterey, Moorish and Norman styles with even a few non-descript styles that defy characterization populate the neighborhood.   A fair share of substantial ranchers on typically smaller lot sizes – usually from 6,000 sq. ft. to 8,000 sq.ft. – are evident as well.  

The neighborhood also has a relatively narrow district of pre-WWII apartments that grace El Camino Real.  Just to the south of the apartment and commercial district is the distinctly different and less up-scale neighborhood of Parrott Park built after WWII.
