ADVANTAGEOUS LOCATION: Ray Park is a short walk from Burlingame Intermediate School, the city’s only public middle school. The neighborhood is also adjacent to two highly regarded elementary schools in the area, Lincoln and Franklin, giving school-aged children living in Ray Park more easy access to their schools. Residents who need to travel to Silicon Valley will find the area’s proximity to the southernmost BART stop, the Millbrae exit at 101, and the 280 corridors ideal and convenient. Additionally, the recently opened Mills-Peninsula Hospital is directly across the street from Ray Park. The shopping mall where Lunardi Foods is located at the intersection of Trousdale and El Camino is only a short distance from the neighborhood.

RANCH ARCHITECTURE: Many Ray Park Burlingame residences have a Ranch style, which is popular since it provides the extra space most people desire. Since there are no stairwells, more space may be used for bedrooms and bathrooms, and there will be simpler access to the outdoors. The design of a ranch house is based on the need for unobstructed access to the backyard. Ranch-style dwellings may also be less expensive to cool and warm. If it is well insulated and has energy efficient windows, the cost of heating a ranch house is almost always less than that of heating a bigger, more sprawling home.
