Burlingame homes for sale
Live listings and a local's guide to Burlingame, from the Easton Addition to the Burlingame Park estates.
Living in Burlingame
Burlingame sits on the Peninsula about 15 miles south of San Francisco, right next to SFO. It's known as the "City of Trees" for its canopy of mature eucalyptus, elm and sycamore, and for two walkable downtowns, Burlingame Avenue and Broadway, lined with restaurants, cafes and local shops.
Most of the housing is single-family homes on tree-lined streets, from early-1900s Craftsmans and Tudors near downtown to mid-century homes in the hills, with condos and apartments closer to El Camino Real and the downtown cores.
