Hillsborough, Burlingame Luxury Homes Real Estate

Millbrae Market Report 7.21.08

Last week there were 51 homes on the market in the city of Millbrae. That seems like a lot to me, but there aren't many that are what our clients call, "affordable". The Median price was $1,125,000. The most expensive house is listed at $2,800,000. Prices have been rising for some time in Millbrae and even though Altos Research says the trend in price is down, you could fool me. Millbrae offers good schools, and Mills High School, which is part of the San Mateo Union High School District is a coveted high school and the reason many people desire to move to Millbrae from the City.

Burlingame Mills Estate Neighborhood Report

The Mills Estates were developed in the mid-1950 through the 1960's. This land once was part of the Ogden Mills estate and when the mansion burned down it was time to develop the land. There were many different builders, some building tract homes and some custom homes. This is the only area in Burlingame with Eichler homes and these are the largest Eichler's anywhere in San Mateo County. Most of the homes on the view side of the street were built to take advantage of the wonderful views of the bay and San Francisco International Airport. Part of Mills Estates sits in Burlingame and part in Millbrae. With easy access to both 280 and 101, BART, and CalTrain it is a commuters paradise.

Burlingame Ray Park

Ray Park sits just north of the Easton Edition with homes built mostly in the 1950's. It's a desirable neighborhood sitting so close to Franklin School and Burlingame Intermediate, allowing children to walk to school. The homes can be quite stately with the largest lots in the city found on Valdivia Way. This is also one of the few areas of The City of Trees, that doesn't have a lot of trees on the streets. There hasn't been a great deal of action in this part of town with few homes being listed or sold and when they come on to the market they have been flying off in short order! Ray Park sits next to Mills-Peninsula Hospital and the many medical buildings surround the hospital. It's close to BART and the Millbrae CalTrain Station, and easy shopping at the Burlingame Plaza Shopping Center. What more could you ask for?
