Highly sought-after upscale neighborhood in Burlingame
Just outside of the San Francisco Peninsula, Burlingame Park is one of the most coveted and affluent neighborhoods in the Burlingame and Bay Areas. Residents flock here for its exceptional public school system and storybook-like residential landscape, where historic Tudors and bungalows adorned with colorful garden-style exteriors give off a whimsical streetscape charm. “It’s very vibrant, and it’s where everyone wants to be,” says Denise Laugesen, a longtime Burlingame resident and local realtor at Laugesen Team, Luxury Specialists. “We have a cool vibe here, and one of the biggest draws is that it’s right next to downtown Burlingame, so you can walk to everything there.” With its walkability to the city’s best dining and shopping and its strong community nature, full of new families and longtime residents, Burlingame Park is an upscale, suburban meets urban dreamscape. “We have it all here,” Laugesen says. “It’s a magical, one-stop place.”

Surrounded by the city’s top dining and shopping destinations
One of the biggest draws to Burlingame Park is being next to the city’s top retail and dining. “What’s great about Burlingame Park is that you can walk to some amazing downtown restaurants, have some cocktails and then just walk back home,“ Laugesen says. “It’s the best area.” Downtown restaurants like SaltYard mix modern American cuisine with a touch of European flair. Infamous for having an entire wall lined with extensive wine selections, this eatery serves favorites like truffle fries and sea bass with garlic and herb potatoes. Nearby, the upscale Limon dishes out Peruvian and Latin cuisine. Locals enjoy notable items such as the open-flamed rotisserie chicken while sitting out on the restaurant’s downtown street-side patio. Breakfast and lunch specialties are the star of Copenhagen Bakery and Café, a popular European market-style spot known for Danish-style pastries and bottomless self-serve coffee. On Chapin Avenue, the family-owned Mollie Stone’s Market is the go-to gourmet grocery store with fresh produce and organic items, while the main retail mecca is located along Burlingame Avenue. Residents can walk or bike here to trendy shops, quaint boutiques and big retail chains like Lululemon and Madewell.

Downtown community festivals and movies in the park
The community joins together downtown for an array of social gatherings. One of the biggest summer events is Burlingame on the Avenue, a two-day annual festival where the downtown streets transform into a lively, block party-style haven. The event features a kids' play area, local food, beer and wine vendors and multiple stages for live music from some of the Bay Area’s best jazz and rock performers. Another similar community festival is ArtzFest, which takes place in August. Locals listen to award-winning musicians, sample gourmet local food and shop at home, garden and artisan vendors. Less than a mile away, the nearby Washington Park hosts a popular and seasonal Movies in the Park series, where residents can sprawl out on the park’s open lawn to watch free outdoor movies under the stars.
Whimsical streetscapes and historic homes
Burlingame Park’s colorful residential streetscapes are lush with flora and abundantly lined with various trees, from coastal oaks to redwoods. Narrowly paved sidewalks flow from one subdivision to the next, providing a safe path for residents to walk to nearby schools, parks or other local establishments. As one of the oldest neighborhoods in Burlingame, historic homes such as Tudor Revivals with steep-pitched roofs and charming 1930s bungalows are the most common architectural styles. Sprinkled in are some new modern builds, often grand and featuring luxury interior amenities. Home prices start just under $2 million but can go as high as $8 million for new construction properties on expansive lots. With Burlingame Village’s high popularity, the housing stock is often limited, and homes on the market sell quickly.

Small residential parks and nearby trails
Surrounded by residential homes, the area is home to two neighborhood parks, Pershing Park and Heritage Park. “The wonderful thing about Pershing Park is that it’s private, and it’s usually just children and families in the area,” Laugesen says. It features an expansive open lawn, basketball and tennis courts and a modern playground with climbing ropes. Heritage Park is a small pocket park where residents can relax under a canopy of towering trees or enjoy an outdoor afternoon lunch at the site’s central picnic table. Area golfers can practice their swing at the nearby Burlingame Country Club, featuring an 18-hole rolling terrain golf course along with tennis and pickleball courts. Burlingame Park is also not far from the San Francisco Peninsula, for all kinds of trails, waterside views and wildlife spotting.

High walkability and multiple public transportation options
Residents are able to walk to all the parks and main downtown hotspots, however, when looking to travel outside the city, the neighborhood sits right along Route 82 and El Camino Real Roadway. The area has multiple public bus stops as well, and the Burlingame Train Station is conveniently located a half mile away. Catching an out-of-state flight is a breeze in Burlingame Village, as the San Francisco International Airport sits eight miles north.
