Neighborhood

Home to Stanford University, Palo Alto blends small-town charm and tree-lined streets with world-class innovation. The city of 66,000 takes its name from an ancient redwood that once stood along San Francisquito Creek. Palo Alto's exceptional quality of life stems from its thoughtful preservation of open space – nearly one-third of its 25 square miles is dedicated to parks and nature areas, including the resident-exclusive 1,400-acre Foothills Park. The city boasts more than 30 municipal parks, offering abundant recreational opportunities throughout its neighborhoods.

The city's vibrant downtown along University Avenue and California Avenue pulses with diverse restaurants and boutique shops, while Stanford Shopping Center provides luxury retail in an elegant outdoor setting.

The adjacent Stanford University campus enriches community life through lectures, cultural events, and continuing education opportunities. Education stands at the heart of Palo Alto's identity, with an astounding 82% of adult residents holding at least a Bachelor's degree. This intellectual capital has made the city a cradle of innovation – pioneering companies like Hewlett-Packard and Tesla Motors call it home, while tech giants such as Facebook, Pinterest, and PayPal were born here.

This combination of natural beauty, cultural wealth, and technological innovation makes Palo Alto one of America's most desirable addresses. With a median household income of $220,000 and median home prices of $3.6 million, its 94301 ZIP code ranks #20 on Robb Report's list of the nation's most expensive postal codes.
