History

Fiercely independent, these neighborhoods represent the last vestiges of unincorporated Burlingame. Having declined the invitation to join the city of Burlingame each time it has been put to a vote, residents here live in unincorporated County of San Mateo. For most practical purposes, however, Hills residents are part of the Burlingame community, including being a part of the Burlingame School District. The area occupies the western edges of the former Easton Black Hawk Ranch. In the 1950s, the westernmost homes were threatened by the construction of Interstate 280 until the residents raised such a ruckus that the new freeway was rerouted farther west. At that time, one resident put a huge billboard sign in his yard that read: “Take a Tip From This Illegal Sign and Don’t be Frightened Away, These Homes are Well Built and Here They’re Going to Stay.” And indeed, stay they have. The area is perfect for the commuter who wants both a home with country atmosphere and one with easy access to I-280.

The Burlingame Hills features gorgeous homes and scenic views. It’s a great choice for those who prefer a little more privacy, bigger lot size, and a little more separation from their neighbors. Many of the streets in the Burlingame Hills are adjacent to Hillsborough, and the feel is quite similar — some of Raziel’s clients say it feels woodsy like Lake Tahoe. The closest grocery store is at the bottom of Trousdale Drive at the corner of El Camino, an easy five minute drive down the hill (though not walking distance), and the 280 freeway is very close by, making the Burlingame Hills ideal for those who commute to downtown San Francisco or Silicon Valley.
