The Burlingame Park neighborhood is small and lush, bordered on one side by Hillsborough and walking distance to Burlingame Avenue, which is a huge draw for the neighborhood. The several hundred homes in the whole neighborhood are on generally larger lots here than most of Burlingame. The neighborhood is the jewel in the glittering crown of Burlingame real estate, the most desirable address in a city full of most desirable addresses. Recently sold homes on its tree-lined streets have sold for $4.5 million or more, though many are in the sweet spot in the $3 million range. Bordering ultra-high-end Hillsborough, Burlingame Park holds its own with its leafy neighbor, offering spacious traditional homes (including many modern rebuilds whose classic style follows the lead of their pre-war neighbors) plus easy access to Burlingame Avenue’s chic boutiques and myriad restaurant choices and an option for entry-level Burlingame buyers — a row of condominium buildings along the neighborhood’s eastern border which range in price from the high six figures to the low $1 millions. With a neighborhood-wide WalkScore of 86 but a serene overall vibe, Burlingame Park offers its fortunate residents the best of luxurious small-town living a mere 15 miles from San Francisco.

Burlingame Park rebounded in 2024, gaining 11% of value to finish with an average home price of $3.879 million — the highest of any Burlingame neighborhood. Sales also bounced back, doubling to 16 after falling from 17 in 2022 to 8 in 2023. Note also that this year Burlingame Park had four sub-$2.2 million sales, dragging down its overall averages, and these were homes that were not in prime locations or were candidates for major renovations. In comparison, in 2023 only three homes sold in Burlingame Park for less than $3 million.  At the other end of the market, only two Burlingame Park homes sold for more than $5 million, compared to one in 2023 and five in 2022. One was an off-market new construction purchase in the low $7 million range; I represented the buyers.
