Transcription
[music] Right now we're in the Burlingame Terrace neighborhood, which is probably the most convenient neighborhood in all of Burlingame. You're walking-distance to Burlingame Avenue, walking-distance to Broadway, and very close to the Burlingame High School campus. Homes here are about a typical size in Burlingame. You get anything from a 2-bedroom home for 1,100 and 1,200 square feet, all the way on up to a 4-bedroom home of maybe 2,200, 2,300 square feet. Boundaries of the neighborhood are defined by Broadway, Burlingame Avenue, and in between California Drive and El Camino. Also in the neighborhood is the Burlingame Public Library, as well as City Hall. The elementary school for the neighborhood is McKinley, which has a very popular and well-known Spanish emersion program. [music]
Development
Surveyed and laid out in October 1905, the original subdivision ended at Edgehill Drive.[1] Archibald and Smith marketed the neighborhood as "The Best of Them All". The development's population grew quickly after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake sent the city's population south along the electric car and Pacific Railroad tracks to Peninsula cities.[2] Original marketing materials boasted of "undesirable buildings are not desired in the Terrace. No stores, saloons, laundries, etc., allowed. No house to cost less than $1750."[3]
Attractions and characteristics
Burlingame Terrace borders two of the main Burlingame downtown areas: Broadway Avenue and Burlingame Avenue. Paloma Playground is a small jungle-gym in the neighborhood, and across California Ave is Washington Park and the Jules Francard Grove of heritage Eucalyptus trees. The neighborhood also contains a European-style Tudor Revival village at Willborough Road and Neuchatel Ave.
