Convenient central hub next to Downtown Hayward

Located in the heart of California’s East Bay, the Burbank neighborhood of Hayward is at the center of it all. “I think the real highlight of Burbank is its location,” says Maggie Ng, a local realtor of 13 years at Legacy Real Estate. “It’s close to everything you would need for your daily life, as you are next to the freeway, the Amtrak station, the DMV, the Post Office and supermarkets, plus you are within walking distance to downtown.” While the area features longstanding single-family homes, newer, contemporary condo developments next to prime public transportation hubs have helped increase Burbank’s popularity — attracting a new wave of residents. “It’s the perfect community for first-time homebuyers. It used to have more of an older demographic, but many of these people are relocating or now retirees, so they are downsizing,” Ng says. “Younger people are now moving in, especially more and more IT workers from South Bay who like Burbank’s convenience and easy morning commute.”

Craftsman homes and contemporary condos

Burbank features a mix of single-family homes, townhouses and condos, all typically within walking distance of public schools and downtown. Tree-lined, single-family residential streets feature narrowly paved sidewalks, with properties lined along straightaways and cul-de-sacs, displaying small front lawns. The housing landscape is architecturally mixed, but the most common styles are classic California craftsmans, bungalows and ranchers. The neighborhood has a few subdivisions packed with rows of newer condos, which are mainly concentrated near the BART or Amtrak stations. Condos in Burbank are typically contemporary or Mediterranean in design, often highlighted with stucco roofs. Popular condominiums along Parkhurst Street are known for offering two-level condos designed to look like townhouse-style properties. These condominiums feature highly manicured grounds, nicely paved walking paths and large central open green spaces for residents to enjoy. Single-family home prices start at around $700,000 and can typically go up to around $1.3 million dollars, while condos go from $600,000 up to $1 million.
