High walkability and suburban meets urban allure in North Burlingame
Burlingame Gardens, or more commonly, “the Gardens,” is one of Burlingame's many desirable suburban enclaves, characterized by quaint, tree-lined streets, a diverse housing landscape and its pedestrian-friendly location next to the city’s best dining and shopping. “We get the best of both worlds here with a nice suburban set-up, but then we have the Downtown nearby that’s busy with cafes, bars and cool restaurants,” says Giselle Castro, a longtime resident and office manager at one of the area’s most popular apartment complexes, the Bower. Located just 15 miles south of San Francisco, residents appreciate the proximity to big Bay Area city attractions but also like to revel in all the special qualities that make a more suburban lifestyle in Burlingame Gardens so attractive. “People who have been here for a while seem to enjoy a regular routine, like getting up early and walking over to one of the main gyms, then heading to the Avenue or “the Ave” as we call it to grab coffee and breakfast, and then walking their kids over to school,” Bower says. “It's all very walkable and safe, and people like not having to travel far at all from their houses to get where they need to go.”
Burlingame Gardens is close to the main commercial strip on Burlingame Ave.

American-style eateries and downtown European bakeries
Residents are just minutes away from Burlingame’s most buzzy dining and shopping destinations along Broadway Street and Burlingame Avenue. On Broadway, residents can head to Broadway Grill, a popular restaurant housed in a former bank that serves up American-style eats with a side of live jazz music in the evenings. Menu favorites include traditional cocktails like an Old Fashioned seamlessly paired with the restaurant’s beloved Broadway Burger, made from a combo of freshly ground local beef and sizzled onions. Located Downtown, Copenhagen Bakery and Café is a trendy market and eatery known for its Danish-style pastries, bottomless self-serve coffee and European sandwiches on freshly made bread. The Mollie’s Stone Market on Chapin Avenue is one of the go-to spots for grocery selections, offering fresh produce, gourmet food and organic items, while the more traditional grocery store, Safeway, is right nearby. Located downtown, Burlingame Avenue is where residents can shop at many local and national retail stores like Loft Boutique and Madewell.

Landscaped traffic islands and A-lined roof homes
Burlingame Gardens’ well-manicured residential streets are wide and tree-lined, showcasing a variety of small and grander trees from Palm to California Bay Laurels. The neighborhood features narrowly paved sidewalks and beautifully landscaped traffic circle islands that guide into the area’s different subdivisions. The architectural makeup is heavily mixed, although Spanish Mediterraneans, historic homes adorned with A-lined roofs and mid-century properties are the most common housing styles. Burlingame Gardens tends to feature more single-story homes on tighter lots than nearby neighborhoods like Burlingame Terrace and Burlingame Village and offers a slightly lower starting price. Housing prices range from $1.2 million to a little over $4 million for more updated, two-story properties. "Similar homes in, say, Millbrae are about $400,000 to $500,000 more," says Glenn Sennett, a local realtor who has been helping clients in the peninsula for over 40 years. “And, generally, the farther south you go down the peninsula, the more expensive it gets."

ArtzFest is another music and art-focused favorite, featuring live music from award-winning musicians, gourmet local food selections and an extensive lineup of home, garden and artisan vendors. During the autumn season, residents can head to the Downtown Fall Fest to mingle with neighbors and grab some fall-inspired food from food trucks while children run around in the Kids’ Zone. When Christmastime arrives, locals kick off the holidays by coming together in front of City Hall for the annual Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony, followed by festive sleigh rides and family photo-ops with Santa.
