Living in Burlingame, CA

Located on the San Francisco Peninsula and boasting a significant amount of shoreline on the San Francisco Bay, Burlingame, CA, offers renters the perfect balance between the charm of renting an apartment in a small town and the amenities, job opportunities and endless entertainment you can only find in a big city. Renters in Burlingame will find the perfect place to raise a family, complete with an excellent public school system to a walkable downtown area lined with mature trees to which Burlingame owes its nickname, “the City of Trees.” Plus, the city is bursting with charming boutiques and cafes, and year-round balmy weather enables renters to enjoy the natural beauty of the San Francisco Peninsula at their doorstep. While Burlingame is a safe and pleasant living environment within just 20 minutes of downtown San Francisco, renters should be prepared for a major downside typical of one of the most expensive areas in the United States: The cost of living in Burlingame is significantly higher than it is in the rest of the country and even stands well above the average for the rest of California.

Renting in Burlingame, CA

If you’re considering renting an apartment in Burlingame, you won’t be alone: There are only slightly fewer renters in this peaceful small town than there are property owners. As such, Burlingame features a mixed urban-suburban environment, featuring both residential neighborhoods and denser areas with townhouses, condos and rental apartment communities. That said, the average rent for a Burlingame apartment for rent is even higher than the average rent in the notoriously pricey San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward metropolitan area. Note that, according to rental laws in California, landlords typically require a security deposit with a maximum amount equivalent to up to two times the rent in an unfurnished rental apartment and up to three times the amount of the rent in a furnished apartment (unless otherwise specified in the rental agreement).

Burlingame is also home to two main shopping districts along Broadway and Burlingame avenues.

Transportation in Burlingame, CA

Burlingame is part of the BART system, which offers a connection to San Francisco and its surrounding towns, as well as a few bus lanes and a shuttle trolley for local transportation.
