About Burlingame
Located about twenty miles south of Topeka along U.S. 56, Burlingame offers a quiet small-town pace with an easy commute into the capital. Home to just under a thousand residents, this historic Osage County community got its start as a Santa Fe Trail stop in the 1850s. Today, classic brick streets, friendly neighbors, and a relaxed rural atmosphere make it a comfortable place to settle down.
Families appreciate the tight-knit local school district, which serves kids from kindergarten through high school right in town. Allen Community College also runs a branch campus here for students looking to pick up classes close to home. Surrounded by rolling countryside along Switzler Creek, Burlingame gives newcomers plenty of open space, affordable living, and a strong sense of community.
