For homebuyers looking for the perfect place to settle down in Palo Alto, St. Claire Gardens makes the grade with its attractive homes and longstanding community. “Longevity comes to mind thinking about that area,” says local librarian Robert Novak. “Lots of families plant their flags and stick around for the long haul because, honestly, it’s going to be hard to find a nicer community.

Meanwhile, other homes in St. Claire Gardens can demand $2 million for a classic Craftsman-inspired ranch-style home and
