Burlingame
Ray Park
Ray Park experienced a dramatic decline in transaction volume in 2025, with sales plummeting 67% to just four homes (down from 12 in 2024), which is crazy!. Average prices rose 2.8% to $3.204 million, though the median fell slightly to $2.977 million from $3.090 million. The small sample size makes year-over-year comparisons challenging, but several metrics stand out: homes sold extraordinarily quickly at just 7.5 days on market (down from 17.2 days in 2024), and price per square foot surged 17% to $1,746 — the highest in all of Burlingame. The sale-to-list ratio of 102.0% was the lowest among all neighborhoods, suggesting less competitive bidding, though this reflects the small sample size.

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.

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.
