The late 1990's helped ensure that Menlo Park was a household name as it is the home of the famous Sand Hill Road. Sand Hill Road is lined with a number of venture capital firms that are well know for funding the start-up that fueled the dot-com boom in the 90's.

The town has much more than venture capital firms and this quaint, upscale community is more Mayberry than financial Mecca. Menlo Park is beautiful without being too cookie-cutter, as the home styles are eclectic, but the streets are lined with trees and sidewalks, and the homes have manicured lawns with beautiful flowers.

Menlo Park is in the financial heart of Silicon Valley, and the town is home to many single professionals, students and professors (Stanford University is next-door), but it is mostly made-up of families. Families are drawn to Menlo Park because of its natural beauty, city parks, and excellent schools. The city has two high schools, and an average of 97% of high school seniors graduate and approximately 92% go on to pursue higher education.

The town has it all with a wonderful downtown composed of interesting shops, delicious restaurants, and charming boutiques. Menlo Park's great weather that makes all of the outdoor activities possible throughout the year is only an added bonus.

In April 2008, the average home sales price for a single family home or condo in Menlo Park was $1,704,650. While this data is collected from the MLS and deemed reliable, it is not guaranteed.
