Burlingame

From its beginnings in the 19th century as a retreat for wealthy San Franciscans, Burlingame has been one of the most charming and desirable places in San Mateo County. Known as the “City of Trees,” this town exudes timeless appeal, with its tree-lined streets and neighborhoods filled with English, Arts and Crafts, and Mediterranean-style homes.

Burlingame has two distinct downtown centers, each with its own character. Broadway retains a nostalgic vibe, featuring traditional mom-and-pop shops, pharmacies, and beloved restaurants like the Broadway Grill and Preston’s candy store. Meanwhile, Burlingame Avenue, the city’s original downtown, has transformed into an upscale shopping and dining district, drawing visitors from across the Peninsula.

Burlingame offers more than just retail and restaurants. Families are drawn here for the highly-rated schools and the abundance of green spaces. Neighborhood parks and Coyote Point Recreation Area—with its marina, beaches, trails, and the family-oriented Curiodyssey science center—offer countless opportunities for outdoor fun.

Burlingame’s close-knit community make it an ideal choice for families and professionals alike, offering proximity to both San Francisco and Silicon Valley in an atmosphere of welcoming charm and sophistication.
