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.
