North Fair Oaks
Mixed architectural styles along tree-lined streets
A variety of housing can be found along the streets of North Fair Oaks, which are lined with mature trees that add to its neighborhood feel. Spanish-style homes, quaint bungalow-style properties and early 20th-century estates are an architectural glimpse into the community’s traditional roots. Ranch-style homes on spacious lots highlight the neighborhood’s midcentury construction, while newer contemporary multi-level homes and sleek, modern-style construction hint at the inevitable residential changes within the area. However, the community is set up to remain in its established nature. “It’s a neighborhood where the lot sizes are all different, and it’s not zoned for mixed-use,” says Jones. “So I think it’s going to stay a residential neighborhood. I don’t see much changing as far as redevelopment.” Prices range from $900,000 to $1.2 million for a 1,000 to 1,200-square-foot original bungalow, while homes with around 3,000 square feet of space range from $2 million to $3.5 million. Modern luxury estates or renovated established properties on large lots with at least 5,000 square feet of space can go from $5 million to $8 million.Shopping and dining along Middlefield Road
Dining options are concentrated along Middlefield Road, which bisects the neighborhood. Other options can be found along the El Camino Real corridor. Popular eateries include Tacos El Jarochito and Cuco’s Burritos for authentic Mexican food and Martin’s Kitchen, which serves up diner-style favorites. Brew Coffee and Bakery is a local favorite, while Chavez Supermarket provides grocery staples. There’s also a Mi Rancho Market adjacent to the nearby Woodside Central shopping mall, which is anchored by a Target.Intimate parks with themed playscapes and nearby bayfront trails
The newly remodeled North Fair Oaks Community Park is a small neighborhood green space with modern playscapes and basketball hoops. Andrew Spinas Park offers even more recreational space for families, with train engine-themed playscapes, picnic areas, tennis courts and well-shaded lawn spaces. Bedwell Bayfront Park, an expansive 160-acre site along the bay, is located just a few miles east. It features many hiking and biking trails that showcase scenic views of the water and is a popular spot for birdwatching.Community skate nights and a summer concert series
SportsHouse is a popular indoor recreational center in the neighborhood that also hosts community events, including public skate nights, where its volleyball courts transform into skating rinks. The city of Atherton puts on other community gatherings throughout the year, including a summer concert series at Holbrook-Palmer Park, located less than two miles south of North Fair Oaks. Locals here can enjoy free live music from some of the area’s top musicians. The park is also home to a summer movie series, with outdoor screenings of family-friendly movies on the lawn.Next to Route 82 and commuter rail stops
El Camino Real, technically known as California State Route 82, is dotted with bus stops for residents who need or prefer public transportation throughout the South Bay. The thoroughfare also provides quick and easy access via car to Silicon Valley, which is less than three miles away. A commuter rail line runs through North Fair Oaks, and residents can hop on the train at the neighborhood’s Atherton BART Station.Moderate crime in North Fair Oaks
