Around the Block
Menlo park:
Suburban charm with the heartbeat of a sunny city.
Drive or walk from home to Santa Cruz Avenue, Menlo Park’s charming main drag, with its fine dining and luxury boutiques — but, be careful, you won’t be able to help striking up a conversation with a friendly shopkeeper.
What to expect:
An active community with a carpe diem attitude.
Menlo Park runs, bikes, kayaks and hikes — and it’s not shy about it. It’s a town that plays hard during the day and tends to go to bed early.
The lifestyle:
Though more and more restaurants are catering to European-style late-night eats and outdoor bistro tables, Menlo Park lacks any real nightlife, but for dog lovers and families, it’s idyllic: Kids run around in the park on sunny afternoons while happy dogs trot beside avid runners.
Dog- and family-friendly, with a penchant for being outside.
Unexpected appeal:
Friendly neighbors and relaxing vibes to balance out busy tech life.
This is the kind of community where you smile at your neighbors and stop for a chat when you run into each other at the farmer’s market — a hometown respite amidst the whirlwind of tech craziness.
The market:
Options for luxury or convenience — or both.
With median home prices at $2.2 million, Menlo Park has lots of variety for anyone looking to center themselves in the heart of Silicon Valley — from glass-walled modern marvels and quaint country escapes to cottages close to downtown.
You'll fall in love with:
The sense of calm and ease that just can’t be helped.
Menlo Park is steady and upbeat, like a well-tuned guitar strummed outside for a crowd of friends, and the gorgeous weather means you’ll want to be out and about all year round.
