Surrounding Neighborhood

The Nueva School property is situated adjacent to a residential neighborhood in western Hillsborough and is surrounded by three different conditions. Skyline Boulevard (running parallel to Highway 280) establishes the School’s southwest boundary. Hillsborough Open Space, one of many pockets of open space in the Town, surrounds most of the property to the north and east. Residential uses within the Skyfarm neighborhood flank the School grounds on the west and east. Residential properties on Rowan Tree Lane in Skyfarm Unit Two either face or back onto the eastern edge of The Nueva School Campus. Like all of Hillsborough, Skyfarm Units Two and Five are zoned R - E, like all of Hillsborough, which limits development to single family houses on half-acre or larger lots.
