Downtown social gatherings and holiday festivals

Residents can enjoy numerous community gatherings throughout the year. Nearby Washington Park hosts a popular Concerts in the Park event with live local performances and then a Movies in the Park series, where locals sit out on the park lawn for free, family-friendly outdoor movie screenings. Burlingame on the Avenue is a huge annual event featuring two days of downtown block party-style festivities, featuring local food and beverage vendors, multiple stages for live music from top Bay Area jazz and rock bands and a play area for the kids. During the Christmas season, residents come together for the annual Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony in front of City Hall, followed by Winterfest with family sleigh rides and photos with Santa.

Charming cottages and beautiful exterior landscapes

Burlingame Terrace showcases nicely paved sidewalks lined with various trees, from California bay laurels to oaks and redwoods. The properties showcase well-manicured lawns, made colorful by flower-filled gardens and vibrant shrubbery. The housing landscape in Burlingame Terrace is architecturally mixed, full of Spanish-style homes, quaint craftsmans, historic cottages and Victorian Tudor Revivals. “I think the neighborhood itself has old-world charm with a lot of period architecture,” says local Realtor Mariana Pappalardo of the Mariana Pappalardo Group. “Even the new homes sort of comply with the nods of the old-world architecture but reimagined in a modern way.” Housing prices here can start around $1.5 million and go as high as $4.5 million for updated properties with luxury interior amenities.
