Burlingame
Burlingame Terrace
Burlingame Terrace continues to offer a relatively affordable option for Burlingame buyers. In 2022, the Broadway-adjacent neighborhood notched Burlingame’s third-lowest average and median home prices ($2.438 and $2.34 million), showing a decline of 2% and 1% from 2021, with recorded neighborhood sales evenly spaced between $1.43 million (Burlingame’s least-expensive recorded sale of 2022) and $3.72 million. After seeing sharp increases in price per square foot and sale price to list price percentage in 2021, in 2022 Burlingame Terrace endured Burlingame’s steepest declines in these categories, falling to $1,336 per square foot (down 5%) and a sale-to-list of 101.7%, 8% lower than in 2021 and lowest in the entire city, with the latter still an impressive statistic.

Burlingame is one of the few areas that has maintained its gracious charm and timeless elegance over the decades. A favorite among families, Burlingame’s two main shopping areas, Burlingame Avenue and Broadway, attract a wide variety of shoppers discovering its boutiques, restaurants, dessert places, and clothing stores. Home to fresh farmer’s markets every Sunday morning in the summer and fall, jazz concerts in Washington Park, and a yearly Art in the Park fair, Burlingame is a wonderful place to start a family or retire later in life, and is well equipped for both!
Its tree lined streets offer an abundance of architecture and style of homes, from quaint two bedroom bungalows to thoughtfully designed four and five bedrooms.

Burlingame shares a common history with neighbors San Mateo, Millbrae and Hillsborough, but only up to a point. Like the surrounding communities, Burlingame was once the site of native Costanoan villages and then part of a Mexican land grant (Rancho Buri Buri to the north and Rancho San Mateo to the south). Burlingame’s history diverges from that of nearby Peninsula cities in the late 1800s, when Francis Newlands, son-in-law of landowner and Nevada Senator William Sharon, came up with a plan to turn this stretch of real estate into a playground for San Francisco’s wealthiest residents.
