An advantageously located Bay Area locale
Location is widely considered the most important asset in real estate, and in a neighborhood like Linfield Oaks, the adage rings true in particular. This Silicon Valley-area enclave is filled with well-kept and updated midcentury homes and is conveniently located near highly rated public schools. And, though it’s primarily residential, Linfield Oaks is close to bustling commercial corridors and just about 30 miles south of San Francisco. “You’ve got great schools and it's close to downtown Menlo Park and downtown Palo Alto. That goes a long way,” says Menlo Park-based Realtor Cindy Liebsch of Compass Real Estate.

An established locale keeping up with the times
The Linfield Oaks area sprouted as a post-World War II planned community. So much of the housing in this area still dates back to the 1950s through the 1970s. Many homes here are spacious ranch-style options — the average square footage is 1,965. Though many of the houses here are established, many of them have updated interiors. “They may look ranch-y on the outside, but they’re very modern on the inside,” Liebsch says. “Some people are taking them down entirely and replacing them.” Homes around Linfield Oaks fill well-kept, compact lots along sidewalk-lined residential streets. “It’s very friendly. It’s got a real community feel. It’s where neighbors are friends,” Liebsch says. Single-family homes here sell for prices anywhere from about $2.5 million to $4 million.
