Favorable

• Arguably Burlingame's hottest neighborhood; less than one home per month on average comes up for sale

• Quintessential tree-lined streets with classic Burlingame homes

• Super close and easily walkable to Downtown Burlingame and Burlingame Avenue, Washington Park, and Caltrain

Adverse

• Lot sizes are on average 5,000 s/f compared to the 6,000 s/f average for Burlingame, however, most homes have attached garages with full-sized yards, and many homes on 6,000 s/f lots elsewhere in Burlingame have detached garages with the garage in the rear of the property

• Homes within one or two blocks of the freeway may have freeway noise

• High price per square foot, but worth it for those who choose to buy 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.
