Known as the “City of Trees”, Burlingame is located on the San Francisco Peninsula and has a significant shoreline on the San Francisco Bay. Burlingame's Bayside features a section of the Bayside Trail, which offers miles of water-view trails perfect for walking, running, or biking.

 

Both Broadway and Burlingame Avenues offer tree-lined streets, charming local shops, designer boutiques, and fine art galleries. This area also boasts bakeries, delis, and many wonderful restaurants.

 

Burlingame is home to some of the largest hotels in San Mateo County being only a few miles south of San Francisco International Airport. Most of the Hotels are located right near the Bayshore offering stunning guestrooms and suites with gorgeous water views.

Each of Burlingame’s neighborhoods reflects the building styles that were popular during the time of their construction. Older neighborhoods have an abundance of Craftsman and vernacular-style homes originally built in the 1910s and 1920s. These were typically made of wood shingles, wood siding, stucco, or a combination of these materials. By the early to mid-1920s, Tudor and Mediterranean-style homes gained popularity, creating an eclectic mix that generally is the hallmark of pre-1940s neighborhoods. Ranch-style and Eichler homes became popular between the 1940s and 1960s, and are particularly prevalent in post-WWII neighborhoods that developed following the subdivision of the Mills Estate on the north end of Burlingame. Consistent neighborhood styles contribute to home values and neighborhood cohesion.
