About the Easton Addition Neighborhood

Traditionally the most popular neighborhood in Burlingame, Easton Addition took that title to a new level in 2020, bumping up the number of overall sales by 43%. For the year, 66 homes sold in Easton Addition (more than 30% of the city-wide total), which also pushed its average and median home values over $3 million for the first time. 40 homes sold for more than $3 million in Easton Addition last year — twice the amount that sold at that price point in 2019 and 61% of all neighborhood sales. A dozen sold for more than $4 million. Average DOM fell by half to 12. Its charming streets lined with large homes on big lots, Easton Addition was perfectly positioned to benefit from the shift in buyer priorities during COVID. It’s hard to say whether this growth will be sustained in a post-COVID world, but we can assume that Easton Addition will remain the most sought-after neighborhood in town.

History

Ansel I. and Adeline Easton’s Black Hawk horse ranch once covered 1,500 acres. The Easton estate, and the 1,500-acre estate of Mrs. Easton’s brother D.O. Mills, occupied all of what is now Burlingame north of Sanchez Creek. The Easton estate extended from Sanchez Creek north to Mills Creek (near present day Adeline Drive) and the Mills estate extended from Mills Creek to El Portal Creek (near present day Mills Avenue).

Today, The Easton Addition takes it name from the Eastons’ son Ansel Mills Easton who subdivided his parents’ ranch and developed the area west of El Camino Real in the decades before and after World War I. The area is referred to as the Easton “Addition” because it was not originally included in the city’s borders when Burlingame incorporated in 1908. We are not sure why Easton didn’t join Burlingame originally at the time of incorporation, but probably because most of the wealthy landowners were worried that they’d be taxed (Mills didn’t join and Hillsborough didn’t join either). The last remaining 25 acres of Black Hawk Ranch were sold to Charles Howard, the owner of the great racehorse Seabiscuit, in 1925.

Ansel Easton Adams, the famous photographer, is named after Ansel M. Easton; the famous photographer’s parents admired Mr. Easton, who was married to Louise Adams Easton, the photographer’s aunt. Ansel Adams (the photographer) was named after his uncle because at one time his father greatly admired his brother-in-law, but the relationship turned very sour later in life after Mr. Adams felt like Ansel didn’t do the right thing in a business deal. When the photographer found out about this he stopped using Easton on photographs (early ones say Ansel Easton Adams), then he went to Ansel E. Adams and finally dropped the E all together.
