Why Live in Menlo Park

Menlo Park, CA, in San Mateo County, is known as the “Capital of Venture Capital” and has grown to nearly 34,000 residents since its incorporation in 1927. The area is very community-focused, with holiday parades for kids, a weekly summer concert series, and a downtown where middle schoolers often gather after school for snacks and bagels. Downtown Menlo Park is pedestrian-friendly, with sidewalks connecting restaurants, bookshops like local institution Kepler’s Books, and art studios, and it is a popular spot for dining and browsing, though it is not a destination for late-night things to do since most restaurants close earlier and there are few clubs. Nearby, the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto adds big-box retailers and regional eateries to the mix. Outdoor recreation is a key part of life here, with Bedwell Bayfront Park’s 160 acres of bayfront trails, Burgess Park’s athletic courts, skate park, pool, and playground, and the wooded paths of Stanford Hills Park, which also hosts summer Music in the Park concerts. Housing ranges from single-family homes to townhomes and apartments, much of it built between 1940 and 1969, on tree-lined streets in a designated Tree City USA community. Menlo Park City School District and Sequoia Union High School District are both highly rated, and many residents commute about 30 minutes using Highway 101, Highway 82, Interstate 280, Caltrain, SamTrans buses, or bike lanes, with two major international airports within 22 miles.
