MENLO PARK
Welcome to Menlo Park
Menlo Park blends leafy, established Peninsula neighborhoods with a front-row seat to the innovation economy. It is home to Meta’s headquarters at 1 Hacker Way and sits along the famous Sand Hill Road venture capital corridor, all while keeping a relaxed, tree-lined character.
Local Lifestyle
Life here balances town and nature. Bedwell Bayfront Park offers bay-edge trails and sweeping views, while Burgess Park anchors community recreation near downtown. The Allied Arts Guild, a historic Spanish-style enclave of studios and gardens, and the nearby SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory reflect the city’s mix of culture and science.
Dining, Shopping and Things to Do
Downtown Menlo Park centers on Santa Cruz Avenue, a walkable stretch of restaurants, cafes, and shops, with the beloved Kepler’s Books as a longtime cornerstone. It is an easy, upscale-casual district that draws people from across the mid-Peninsula.
Schools
Menlo Park is served by well-regarded public schools, with Menlo-Atherton High School serving the area. Strong schools and a central Peninsula location are major draws for families. (Please confirm the specific school assignment for any given address, as boundaries vary.)
