Old Palo Alto

Old Palo Alto is arguably the best address in all of Silicon Valley, with many of the tech elite making it their home. Exclusive and distinct, it is a quiet enclave of tree-canopied streets, lush lawns and a mix of luxury estates and charming, smaller homes. Centrally located and close to top-rated schools, restaurants, cafes, and shopping, as well as Stanford University. Positioned between San Francisco and San Jose, its residents can full advantage of all that living in the Bay Area has to offer.

Palo Alto, CA

Palo Alto is one of the world’s great centers for technology and innovation. Whether it’s venture capital, computers, telecommunications, social networking, or biotech, Palo Alto is the engine that turns ideas into reality. Located halfway between San Francisco and San Jose, Palo Alto is the place in Silicon Valley where everything seems to happen. Unlike their more suburban neighbors, Palo Alto residents enjoy the opportunity to stay connected to the pulse, while still maintaining a sense of seclusion and privacy.

As a hub of innovation, Palo Alto has a gravity that naturally draws influential people and ideas to its center. Even those who live outside the city’s borders are drawn to its myriad restaurants and bars as meeting places for business and socializing. With Palo Alto’s low-key, accessible attitude, you never know who you might run into or what connections you will make here.

In keeping with its foundation as a center for learning and innovation, the city is home to Stanford University as well as some of the most highly regarded public schools in the country. Most Palo Alto children attend their neighborhood public school, where they walk or bike to school, contributing further to Palo Alto’s strong “small town” flavor.
