If you are asking if Burlingame is a good city to live in, most locals will point you toward its picturesque, eucalyptus-lined streets and its vibrant, high-end downtowns. It’s a place that feels like a classic American town but with the luxury and convenience of a premier Peninsula location.
Burlingame has a warm, small-town soul paired with a sophisticated, cosmopolitan energy. The community is active and civic-minded, with a "laid-back luxury" vibe. It’s famously safe and welcoming, making it one of the most sought-after spots for growing families and professionals alike.
Burlingame is unique because it offers two distinct shopping and dining experiences:
Burlingame Avenue ("The Ave"): This is the city's crown jewel. It’s a lush, tree-lined, pedestrian-friendly stretch filled with high-end boutiques like Sam Malouf, designer names, and trendy athleisure shops. It’s the place to see and be seen on a Saturday afternoon.
Broadway: Just a short distance away, Broadway offers a nostalgic, 1950s mom-and-pop vibe. It’s home to local favorites like Preston’s Candy and Ice Cream (a 75-year-old staple) and cozy cafes with scalloped awnings.
From Michelin-starred Indian at Rasa to the legendary rotisserie chicken at Limón, the food here is incredible. You can grab world-class pastries at Copenhagen Bakery, enjoy wood-fired pizza at Pizzeria Delfina, or have a "New England" experience with fresh lobster flown in daily at New England Lobster Market & Eatery.
Burlingame Fresh Market: Every Sunday (year-round) and Thursday (seasonal evenings), the downtown corridor turns into a lively open-air market with fresh produce, artisan products, and live entertainment.
Music in the Park: Summer nights belong to Washington Park, where the "Music in the Park" series brings the community together for free Friday night concerts ranging from classic rock to country dance.
Holiday Tradition: The city is famous for its Holiday Tree Lighting and parade, which feels like a scene straight out of a movie.
Top-Rated Schools: Families are drawn to the exceptional academics of the Burlingame School District and the high-ranking Burlingame High School.
Abundant Parks: Washington Park is the community’s oldest hub, offering tennis courts, playgrounds, and shaded picnic areas. For bay views, locals head to Bayside Park or the waterfront trails of the Shorebird Sanctuary.
Commuter's Paradise: You are perfectly positioned between SF and Silicon Valley, with Caltrain and BART (via Millbrae) minutes away, and SFO right next door for easy travel.
Check out Treasure Paws on Broadway, it’s an excellent hidden-gem thrift shop that supports local animal rescues, where you can find high-quality clothing and unique knick-knacks for a steal.
