Lyon Hoag Burlingame, CA
Burlingame's original subdivision near the Burlingame Avenue train station, a walkable mix of older homes and newer rebuilds.
Living in Lyon Hoag
Lyon Hoag is one of Burlingame's original neighborhoods, laid out in the early 1900s just east of the tracks near the Burlingame Avenue train station. The streets are a charming mix of early-1900s cottages, bungalows and Craftsmans alongside newer two-story rebuilds, which is why prices here range so widely. It's been one of Burlingame's strongest performers: the median rose about 66% from 2015–16 to 2024–25, and homes sold in about 9 days on average in 2025.
Parking & walkability: Lots are smaller, and many older homes have narrow driveways or one-car garages, so street parking fills up, especially on blocks closest to downtown and the train station. The payoff is walkability. Burlingame Avenue's shops and restaurants and the Caltrain station are a few minutes on foot, making this one of the best spots in town to live car-light.
