Burlingame Gardens Burlingame, CA
Close to Broadway and California Drive, with smaller lots and some of the more approachable price points for single-family homes.
Living in Burlingame Gardens
Burlingame Gardens is a compact, close-knit neighborhood on the east side of town, a short hop from Broadway. The homes are mostly modest 1920s–'50s bungalows and ranch homes on smaller lots, many expanded or rebuilt over the years. That makes it one of the more approachable ways to own a single-family home in Burlingame, and one of the fastest-appreciating: the median rose about 69% from 2015–16 to 2024–25, well ahead of the city's 46%.
Parking & walkability: Driveways are shorter and some homes have only one-car garages, so street parking gets busier on some blocks. In return, Broadway's shops and restaurants and everyday errands are all within walking distance, and it's a quick drive to 101 and SFO.
