Lyon Hoag is Burlingame's oldest subdivision
Houses sit snuggly along tree-lined sidewalks, and white picket fences wrap around manicured front lawns in Lyon Hoag, Burlingame's oldest subdivision. “You know all your neighbors because everyone’s always out running or walking the dog. And the moms have a weekly standing wine night,” says Realtor Serena Conti of Compass Realty, who lives in the neighborhood. Conti says it’s within walking distance to the city's downtown district, where dozens of shops and eateries line the streets and to a pair of newly renovated parks, providing residents with ample outdoor recreation. Area schools are highly rated, making the neighborhood attractive to families.
