Even though parts of Burlingame are well-known for their charm and convenience, there are areas that still feel like a peaceful retreat perfect for buyers who want privacy without sacrificing access to the best the Peninsula offers.
Here’s why Burlingame is one of the Bay Area’s best-kept secrets and why now might be your moment to make a move.
