Living in Downtown Burlingame
Downtown Burlingame is the condo and apartment district around Burlingame Avenue, the city's main shopping and dining street. Homes here are mostly condos and townhomes, from older low-rise buildings to newer luxury developments, for anyone who wants shops, dining and the train right at their doorstep. Condo prices have been steadier than the single-family market, with a median around $1.1M, and buyers have had a little more room to negotiate lately: 2025 sales closed at about 97% of asking on average.
Parking & walkability: This is Burlingame's most walkable neighborhood. Burlingame Avenue, Washington Park, grocery stores and the Burlingame Caltrain station are all steps away. Most condo buildings include one or two assigned or garage spaces. Guest and street parking downtown is metered and busy, especially on weekends, though the city's public lots and garage help.
