About the Burlingame Gardens Neighborhood

It’d be reasonable to characterize the 2020 market performance of Burlingame Gardens as a “return to normal” in an abnormal world. The entry-level neighborhood located east Broadway saw its average and median prices plummet in 2020, 32% and 28% respectively, until it settled at an average of $1.64 million ($1.73 million median), making it Burlingame’s most affordable neighborhood by far. This doesn’t mean that Burlingame Gardens fell out of favor with buyers in 2020 — far from it. Homes here sold for 105.7% of asking in 2020, the highest such figure in Burlingame. They commanded $1,311 per square foot (second-highest in the city) and took an average of only 13 days to sell, down 39% from 2019’s 21. The drop in average price is simple: smaller homes, averaging 1,254 square feet, sold in Burlingame Gardens in 2020.

History

This is another early development located on the former property of the Eastons’ Black Hawk Ranch. At one time, a Chinese shrimp farm operated on the shores of the Bay near present day Cadillac Way, where the current Rector Porsche Audi car dealership stands. Winchester Drive reveals the name of another former resident. Sarah Winchester, the heiress to the Winchester rifle fortune, maintained a house-boat on the shores of the Bay near the eucalyptus trees just south of present day Anza Boulevard. Corbitt Avenue is named after William Corbitt, the owner of a horse-breeding farm—San Mateo Stock farm—that used to occupy the grounds of present day Burlingame High School. Residents of Burlingame Gardens enjoy its proximity to the high school (and its track and pool) and its proximity to both Broadway and Burlingame Avenue, as well as its easy access to 101.
