Located in the heart of California's thriving Silicon Valley, Downtown Menlo Park has a sophisticated, metropolitan culture that has something for everyone. Downtown Menlo Park is home to multiple tech businesses, but also convenient to major companies like Apple and Google. The neighborhood is also beside Stanford University. Although commuters take advantage of the neighborhood’s rail station that flows to San Francisco and other Bay Area cities, Downtown Menlo Park has more than enough to offer.
The area has great schools and several medical facilities lie just outside the boundaries, so it's a great option for families. Residents can catch some fresh air at green spaces like Burgess Park. Downtown Menlo Park is packed with grocers, coffee shops, and eclectic restaurants serving everything from dim sum to pastrami sandwiches. Events like the annual summer block party and Off the Grid, a food truck market, keep downtown lively as well.
