Burlingame
Burlingame Park
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.

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.
