Last year we noted that Ray Park’s long period of growth seemed to be at an end. In 2023, the neighborhood that had seemed poised to enter Burlingame’s high-end posted significant losses in home values and sales, while doubling its average DOM. Ray Park rebounded in 2024, doubling its overall sales figures and gaining 17.3% of average home values, perhaps suggesting its return to the precipice of Burlingame royalty?  Ray Park homes sold for an average of $3.115 million last year, third-highest among Burlingame neighborhoods and $1,492 per square foot, also third-highest in Burlingame.  Buyers paid 107.3% of asking price in Ray Park, second-highest in town and notably 58% of Ray Park sales closed escrow for more than $3 million; only 17% did in 2023.

Favorable

• Tree-lined streets with more modern ranch-style homes

• Walking distance to Franklin Elementary, Burlingame Intermediate and Ray Park.

• Very close to Trousdale for popping up to 280 and only a few minutes to Millbrae BART

Adverse

• Homes don't have the same historic feel as most in Burlingame

• Hard to find a large original home in the neighborhood

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.
