Residential community centrally located on The Peninsula
Thirty miles from San Francisco, Palm Park, a small triangular-shaped neighborhood, rests between the 101 and 280 Freeways. Primarily residential, this neighborhood was built around Palm Park, a pocket green space for live music and events. “Palm Park offers so many things. It’s a great location – close to downtown, freeways, hospitals and shopping. There’s public transportation, and people can take their bikes on the bus or train. It’s central on the Peninsula, and the weather’s great. It’s hard to find something better. People don’t move out of it much,” says Shawnna Sullivan, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty who began selling real estate on the Peninsula in 1983.
Palm Park offers picturesque, tree-lined streets with scenic mountain views and a peaceful vibe.
Palm Park provides stunning views of the nearby hills, with quiet streets and green spaces.
