About the Burlingame Terrace Neighborhood

One of Burlingame’s oldest neighborhoods, the Terrace offers homes in a wide variety of architectural styles, including California bungalows and Spanish style homes. The area is on land that was once part of the Easton family’s 1500-acre Black Hawk Ranch. The Eastons maintained a racetrack and stables just to the east of the train tracks; Broadway served as the road between the racetrack and the Eastons’ home (which was located at the western end of Easton Drive near present day Jackling and Armsby Drives in Hillsborough).

Homes in Burlingame Terrace have been trending up but still fall in the middle of the Burlingame's real estate market. Buyers here can expect to spend between $1.6 and $2.5 million, and up to the high $2m range for a completely remodeled, larger square footage home. In 2018, Burlingame Terrace notched a median property value of $1,880,000.
