The majority of Burlingame Gate is strictly residential, with large houses, manicured lawns, and tree-shaded sidewalks dominating the landscape. On the southeast side of the neighborhood, Broadway offers a huge selection of coffee houses, international restaurants, and specialty shops (including the Burlingame Farmers Market grocery store).

Outdoor recreation on the waterfront is close at hand, with Bayside Park and Burlingame Golf Center just a few minutes away. Burlingame Gate’s central location and convenient access to the 101 makes it easy to reach the airport, San Francisco, and anywhere in Silicon Valley or the Bay Area.
