Palo Alto

Palo Alto

Palo Alto is one of the most desired cities in the entire Bay Area and to no surprise, whether it be the schools, the parks / museums, the local retail and restaurants, proximity to work (most of the world’s leading venture capital firms are here) or just the cache of calling the city your home. Crescent Park forms the grand entrance to the city via University Ave and its prominent homes, old and renewed. And if you haven’t caught on yet, if you don’t live in proximity to that neighborhood, it’s best to use other freeway exists for a bit more commute efficiency. Professorville, Leland Manor, Palo Verde are arguably the most sought after family spaces, while Downtown North and University South are very much the best of residence and walkability as long as you are ok with student energy for 9 months out of the year. Not to be overshadowed is Barron Park, just west of El Camino Real, a tree lined, sidewalk free neighborhood that is proximate from one of the strongest STEM high schools in Gunn High School. There’s also a small donkey farm which you can visit anytime and has been part of the neighborhood and city for many many years. Pricing wise, this is the most confusing city, with list price convention routinely $750k-1M below market expectation. Making strong representation ever more a beneficial influence to provide context and ensure you're in range.
