Top-notch recreation and education in Sharon Heights
Framed by the Stanford University campus and the western ridges of the Santa Cruz Mountains, Sharon Heights offers a peaceful suburban experience close to the heart of Menlo Park. Diverse housing options keep the neighborhood appealing to a range of buyers, many of whom are drawn here by highly rated National Blue Ribbon Schools such as La Entrada Middle. Local amenities include the Sharon Heights Golf and Country Club, a modest shopping center and proximity to major employers, including a host of venture capital firms along Sand Hill Road and Silicon Valley’s finest less than 20 miles away.
Despite a string of burglaries in early 2024, Sharon Heights receives a low crime score of 2 out of 10 from the CAP Index and is traditionally known as a safe, suburban community. Medical centers are only a few miles away on the Stanford University campus, which is home to the highly regarded Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital. And with hundreds of miles of mountain trails and CalTrain stations nearby, it’s easy to explore all the Bay Area has to offer from the comfortable setting of Sharon Heights.

Million-dollar models are the norm
Ranging from modest midcentury ranch styles to massive contemporary builds, single-family homes in Sharon Heights offer a dynamic suburban experience with landscaped yards bordered by lighted sidewalks. “It's nice because the powerlines are underground, unlike other neighborhoods in the area,” giving the community a clean, welcoming look, says Jennifer Bitter, a Realtor with Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty and a graduate of Stanford Business School. “A few of the homes have peek-a-boo views of the Bay,” she adds, noting that with a great view comes a great price tag. Whether it’s a detached home on a hill, a small condo or a unit in the golf course-adjacent Sand Hill Townhouses, buyers can expect to shell out at least a million dollars, with the largest properties easily soaring past the $8 million mark.

Highly rated schools are a huge draw
Beautiful homes and a quiet, residential character may seem like the biggest draws for Sharon Heights, but it’s the schools that really push the neighborhood’s desirability over the top. “People are moving to Sharon Heights and Menlo Park in general for the schools. In addition to the desirable location, it’s one of the reasons the housing costs are high,” Bitter says. Students can attend Las Lomitas Elementary, La Entrada Middle and Menlo-Atherton High, which all boast impressive grades of A-plus on Niche and sit within a few miles of the neighborhood. Some students may even be able to walk to elementary and middle school. In high school, students can take center stage performing at the on-site Performing Arts Center, a professional 31,000-square-foot theater that seats nearly 500 people. After graduating, some students may even choose to stay close to home by enrolling at the prestigious Stanford University.

Exploring the Santa Cruz Mountains
With the western band of the Santa Cruz Mountains just a few miles away, there’s no shortage of wilderness to explore near Sharon Heights. A quick trip west leads to scenic redwood preserves like Teague Hill Open Space and Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space, where hundreds of miles of trails offer challenging routes for hikers, bikers and equestrians. Some of the trails even link up with the Bay Area Ridge Trail, a 400-mile stretch that encircles the bay.
But staying close to home has its perks, too, as the Sharon Heights Golf and Country Club is a popular spot for members to practice their swing or stay active at the club’s fitness center, tennis courts and pool. Smaller spaces like the 12-acre Sharon Hills Park offer paved trails through the tree-shaded brush — the perfect fodder for a herd of grazing goats that help reduce fire hazards by chowing down on dry grasses. And at Sharon Park, kids can explore the playground or head to the pond to spot turtles and fish.
Ladies enjoy a leisurely walk on Sharon Heights' welcoming streets.

Menlo Park’s community events
The greater Menlo Park community enjoys a handful of local events throughout the year, including spring Easter egg hunts, outdoor summer concerts, a Fourth of July celebration and the Light up the Season holiday festival.
Convenience on Sand Hill Road
Just off Sand Hill Road, which is packed with leading venture capital firms, the Sharon Heights Shopping Center offers convenient access to groceries, pharmacy items, salons and banks. Anchored by Safeway, the plaza is home to Woodside Bakery, a cozy confectionery and local business that’s been serving the Bay Area from different locations since 1981. Locals also enjoy upscale dining at the Sharon Heights Golf and Country Club and the neighboring Rosewood Sand Hill Hotel, which features the Madera, a contemporary American restaurant with a grand open kitchen that’s received high praise from critics, including the Michelin Guide. Within The Quad, a contemporary workspace part of the Sand Hill Collection, Sand Hill Kitchen offers a new take on brunch and lunch with locally sourced ingredients.
