Thriving retail and dining destination in Downtown Burlingame
Downtown Burlingame is a coveted Bay Area district, where a blend of condos and charming homes, from classic Tudors to bungalows, sit beside a vibrant commercial district. The neighborhood is known for boutique shopping and award-winning dining, but it also has a thriving social scene and highly-rated schools. "We have a fabulous community and great schools. And the sense of community isn’t only in the schools. Our city council members have also worked really hard to make everyone feel welcome," says local realtor Denise Laugesen, a KW Realty Laugesen Team leader who has been selling in the area for 32 years. In an effort to create a communal spirit, the city launched several specialized clubs, including ones for families and women. The neighborhood's central location within the Peninsula also makes it a commuter-friendly destination, with San Francisco just 17 miles south and Silicon Valley 23 miles north.

Commercial district along Burlingame Avenue
Downtown’s Burlingame Avenue, locally known as "The Ave," is home to numerous stores and restaurants, from unique local spots to well-known chains. "We have some amazing restaurants and lots of little shops. There aren't a ton of big retailers anymore, but we have little toy stores, bookstores, men's and women's clothing stores. But it's really the restaurants that draw people," Laugesen says. Backhaus – Burlingame is one of the highest-rated eateries along “The Ave.” The café is known for its sourdough bread and German pastries. Tapas spots are also popular around town, with restaurants like Mykonos Meze, serving up Greek food, and Limón, a Peruvian eatery known for its open-flamed rotisserie chicken and street-side patio dining. Large shopping retailers here include places like Lululemon and Madewell, while the family-owned Mollie Stone’s Market on Chapin Avenue is the go-to spot for gourmet grocery items.
