Ray Park
Suburban Neighborhood in Burlingame, California
San Mateo County 94010
Attractive homes offer curb appeal, sustained value
While residents enjoy the perks of living in one of the country’s largest metropolitan areas, Ray Park provides a classic suburban setting of well-kept homes on quiet, tree-lined thoroughfares. “There are traditional houses with wide streets,” says Patty Dwyer, a Realtor with Compass Real Estate. “It’s charming, and people like how close it is to the city.” Though its housing was built primarily in the years just after World War II, Ray Park is a relatively new neighborhood in the city of Burlingame. As such, single- and multi-level ranch-style homes are prominent, along with a collection of custom renovations. However, there is plenty of eye-catching historic architecture to be found. The eclectic mix of styles includes Spanish Mission, Tudor and Craftsman bungalow. The architectural diversity is complemented by the prevalence of custom landscaping that highlights the neighborhood’s curb appeal. Additionally, most homes have been renovated and appear much younger than they are, illustrating pride of ownership. Prices typically range from about $2 million to just under $3 million, although a large, extensively renovated home can list in excess of $5 million. The average home value of $2.6 million is slightly less than in neighboring communities Mills Estates ($2.9M) and Easton Addition ($3.2M).Neighborhood park, nearby attractions provide recreation
Residents can stay active at the neighborhood park, which features a pair of ballfields, tennis courts and a playground. The Millbrae Skate Park is nearby. For hikers seeking to elevate their heart rate a little more, the Ed Taylor Trail winds through Mills Canyon Park just outside the neighborhood. Bayfront Park is about 2 miles away and is known for its airplane-watching.Neighborhood includes three A-rated schools
Bay Area home values are tied to the quality of schools, and Ray Park offers three top-rated institutions in the neighborhood. “The schools are highly desirable,” Dwyer says. “The parents love it, and they can walk their kids to school in the morning.” Lincoln Elementary and Franklin Elementary, both A-rated by Niche, serves the neighborhood’s youngest students. Burlingame Intermediate, rated A-minus, is located adjacent to Franklin Elementary. The nearby high school is rated even higher. Niche gives Burlingame High an A-plus. Featured academic departments include visuals and performing arts and career and technical education.
Proximity to medical center, assisted-living facilities
The neighborhood also features amenities for older residents. Mills-Peninsula Medical Center is a state-of-the-art complex built in 2011 that provides an emergency room, 241 beds and outpatient services. Adjacent are a pair of assisted-living facilities, Trousdale and Sunrise.It's easy to get everywhere from here
The neighborhood is in the perfect location for commuting to work. It is far enough off the beaten path that residents can enjoy its tranquil setting, yet San Francisco is only 15 miles north, and Silicon Valley about 20 miles south. The Millbrae BART Station is about a mile away and provides Caltrain service directly into the city and the Bay Area’s tech centers. U.S. Highway 101, located between the neighborhood and San Francisco Bay, also provides easy access to work-related destinations and San Francisco International Airport just 3 miles away. Interstate 280 on the other side of the neighborhood is an alternate route that connects San Francisco with San Jose. Closer to home, bus stops can be found along Quesada Way and El Camino Real.Plenty of convenient retail and dining options
Along the El Camino Real corridor adjacent to the neighborhood is Burlingame Plaza, a shopping mall that feature’s a full-service Lunardi’s grocery store and is home to several dining options. American Bull Bar & Grill is a popular gathering place for drinks among friends and watching local sports. Little Luca is a highly-rated sandwich shop that has been a neighborhood go-to for more than 40 years. Downtown Burlingame offers a buzzy, walkable shopping district filled with boutique stores, bakeries, coffee shops and restaurants.
