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.
