Burlingame: Peninsula Living at Its Finest
Known as the "City of Trees," Burlingame offers an unparalleled blend of small-town charm and sophisticated living. Its prime location between San Francisco and Silicon Valley makes it a coveted address for professionals and families alike.
Founded in the late 1800s and named after diplomat Anson Burlingame, this community of approximately 30,000 residents boasts a rich history reflected in its diverse architecture—from elegant Tudors to classic Craftsmans and modern luxury homes.
The city's crown jewels include two distinct downtown areas: Burlingame Avenue, with its upscale boutiques and fine dining, and the more casual Broadway district with its neighborhood-friendly shops and restaurants. Both offer the pedestrian-friendly charm that defines Burlingame's lifestyle.
Burlingame's lush tree canopy and bayfront location offer stunning views and outdoor living opportunities year-round.
