A hillside urban escape outside of downtown Burlingame
Burlingame Hills is an affluent, heavily forested residential oasis situated within a rolling hillscape on the far west side of Burlingame. Peaceful, private living with spread-out housing, Bay Area views and access to sprawling nature trails set Burlingame Hills apart from other city neighborhoods. “There are a lot of beautiful hiking trails that people enjoy close to Hillsborough, which borders Burlingame Hills and is near the bay, so it’s very popular,” says Castro. “People will work their long days in the city, and then come back to unwind and walk or bike along these trails.” The neighborhood attracts a mix of work-from-home types, tech employees and families, as Castro mentions when discussing the area’s residential allure. “There are many new tech buildings around, so people are often moving here from the south and east bays of San Francisco, and a lot of families will look into this area specifically for the school district.” Even with its more isolated setting, Burlingame Hills is only 20 minutes from San Francisco and 30 minutes from Silicon Valley. It offers an ideal setting for those seeking a quiet, residential escape from the sounds of city traffic and bustling streets while still having modern conveniences just down the hill.
Many homes in Burlingame Hills have views to San Francisco Airport and the bay.

Panoramic Bay Area views and forested streetscapes
Most Burlingame Hills homes reside on a downward or upward slope, nestled along winding residential streets overflowing with lush flora and forested greenery. The neighborhood's vastly wooded hillside scenery showcases an abundance of redwood and eucalyptus trees, and homes are often fenced in by manicured boxwoods or native shrubs. Homes here are more spread out and larger than in most nearby neighborhoods, including Burlingame Gardens and Burlingame Village. Stately properties, with five or more bedrooms and luxury interior amenities, often sit higher up on hilltops with panoramic views of Mills Canyon and the Bay Area horizon. The most common architectural styles are Mediterranean homes, Tudor Revivals and elevated mid-century homes, with prices ranging from $1.2 million to $5.5 million.

Mills Canyon hiking trails and hilltop parks
Residents in Burlingame Hills are surrounded by natural splendor with plenty of trails, parks and green spaces to explore. The Mills Canyon Park is the most prominent park, considered a hidden gem by locals with its wilderness and off-the-grid landscape. This small, deep canyon in the foothills features a 1.25-mile trail, isolated from traffic noise, with only the sounds of birds and rustling leaves to enjoy while hiking, biking or spotting native wildlife. Nearby, Cuernavaca Park is a hilltop park that overlooks the city of Burlingame. Children can run around the updated playground, and residents can practice their athletic skills at one of the many sports fields. The park also features numerous picnic tables for outdoor lunch breaks and is an ideal spot for watching planes land in the distance at the San Francisco International Airport. Skyline Park is another favorite park for pet owners, as its vast open lawn area is set up for dogs to roam around and play freely.
