The Peninsula Regent

Overview of The Peninsula Regent

As San Mateo’s foremost not-for-profit condominium community, The Peninsula Regent is designed for independent seniors aged 60 and beyond. What sets them apart is its unique approach; rather than the customary entrance fee that is often non-refundable, senior residents have the opportunity to invest in their very own homes.

The Peninsula not only secures a valuable asset for seniors and their heirs but also imparts a sense of comfort and peace of mind that comes with being part of this exceptional senior community. Here, an array of concierge services, excellent amenities, delectable dining selections, and daily social engagement await seniors, offering a carefree lifestyle that empowers them to pursue their passions and embrace life to the fullest wholeheartedly.
