One of California's top places to live
In the heart of Silicon Valley and ranked by Niche as one of the best places to live in California, Midtown Palo Alto treats residents to highly ranked schools, a vibrant shopping and dining scene, Stanford University and luxury homes. “Palo Alto is hugely in demand, and Midtown gives people looking at this area something accessible but also right in line with what they expect from Palo Alto,” says Susanne Gibson, a Palo Alto property manager and longtime resident. “It’s as homey as it is stylish.” One of the Bay Area’s most highly coveted neighborhoods, this quiet suburb offers easy access to downtown, a quaint business district and much more.
From French-inspired estates to Spanish-Mediterranean abodes
These tree-lined streets scream California modern, with contemporary designs detailed with eccentric styles peppering the landscape. Midtown offers Spanish-Mediterranean-style homes, bungalows, ranch-style homes, French-inspired estates and condos. Most homes were built in the 1950s, ranging from $845,000 to $6 million, but there’s also a large portion of modern homes built in the last several years. Condos range from $885,000 in the Oregon Green development to $1.7 million in the Woodcrest Palo Alto subdivision. Midtown homes, most of which are solar powered, offer multi-car garages and a mix of leafy, lush lawns and desert landscaping, with beautifully maintained yards adorned with plants, garden beds and winding stone pathways.

Making moves in Midtown
Bordered by the Oregon Expressway and U.S. Route 101, residents can conveniently get around the city, including Stanford University and the Palo Alto Airport, both only a 2-mile drive. Downtown Palo Alto is just a short drive away, which residents can access via Middlefield Road or the nearby California Avenue Caltrain station, getting locals around the region.
Froms skate and dog parks to nature preserves
Midtown’s green spaces and unique natural areas are also a big part of its appeal. The 22-acre Greer Park is perfect for hikers or joggers with its long trails, and thrill seekers can shred some payment at its skatepark. At Shoreline Park, a nature preserve and one of the region’s biggest attractions, residents paddle around the lake, fly a kite, let furry companions play in the dog park or catch a show at the famous Shoreline Amphitheater, which attracts some of the biggest names in music and hosts numerous festivals throughout the year. Golf lovers can practice their swing at Shoreline Golf Links, a championship 18-hole course with equal parts beauty and challenge. Let the kids play or shoot hoops at Henry W. Seale Park, or for a serene escape into nature, head to Baylands Nature Preserve, nearly 2,000 acres of undisturbed marshland. One of the best sites for birdwatching, Baylands also boasts a duck pond, a sailing station and an art park.

Cuisine for every palate
While Downtown Palo Alto is conveniently nearby, Midtown has a diverse selection of cuisine for every palate, mainly along California State Route 82. Fuel up in the morning at Palo Alto Café, which serves coffee sourced from around the world, along with sandwiches and smoothies. INDO Restaurant and Lounge is a local favorite, blending traditional Southeast Asian flavors with California classics. Or head to the San Antonio Center, a shopping center that offers Target, Walmart, Trader Joe’s, CVS, and Pacific Catch, an upscale Seafood restaurant. For nighttime fun, head to the iconic neoclassical Persian-style Stanford Theatre for old Hollywood classics and sip drinks at The Rose & Crown, a laid-back pub offering whiskeys, craft beers and games.
