Burlingame
Easton Addition
Easton Addition accounted for 25% of all Burlingame home sales in 2022 (30% in 2021) while posting the city’s second-highest average and median home values ($3.51 and $3.4 million, notably up 6% from 2021). As Burlingame goes, though, so goes Easton Addition, and the city’s overall drop in real estate activity was reflected in its most popular neighborhood where overall sales fell 35% after increasing by 18% in 2021. That Easton Addition real estate actually gained value while most other neighborhoods lost value is a tribute to its enduring desirability, as is the fact that during a down year $5 million-plus homes increased their neighborhood market share from 1.5% to 9%. Since 2018, property values in Easton Addition have increased by 25%.

All addresses in Burlingame go to Burlingame High School (In 2003, the district lines were redrawn to incorporate this change).

To verify enrollment information, please contact the High School District.
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.
