Burlingame
Easton Addition
Burlingame’s neighborhood of superlatives (most popular, most expensive), the Eastion Addition, demonstrated the power of popularity in 2023, finishing the year as one of only four local neighborhoods to show an increase in average property value (Burlingables, Burlingame Gardens and Burlingame Village were the others). For the year, Easton Addition homes sold for an average of $3.574 million, up slightly from 2022’s $3.517 million — and up 8% since 2021. Overall sales were down but still the highest in town, but average DOM increased from 19 to 32 and the sale-to-list price ratio fell by almost 5%, to 98.8%, both something to watch as the local market continues to evolve.Also notable: overall sales in Easton Addition have fallen 42% since 2021, which likely says more about the market than it does about the popularity of Easton Addition

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.
