Community spirit thrives in Allendale
A small residential neighborhood 15 miles outside San Francisco, Allendale offers residents easy access to a nearby train station, cute local restaurants, and a historical park.

Allendale benefits from that.” Gray also says the area is friendly, and neighbors tend to know each other.
