Overview
Of all the lovely Menlo Park neighborhoods, Allied Arts & Downtown may be the most varied and dynamic. With vibrant Santa Cruz Avenue as the nucleus of Downtown Menlo Park, residents enjoy proximity to a low-key yet sophisticated variety of fine restaurants, boutiques, and coffee shops. Wedged between this neighborhood and Palo Alto is the community of Allied Arts, also known as Stanford Park. The Allied Arts Guild, a historic compound in an excessively charming garden setting replete with artisan shops and studios, is this neighborhood’s namesake. All of Allied Arts has a bucolic feel induced by canopies of trees lining the streets and a tranquil creek-side location. Residences are a mix of original cottages, modest single-family homes, and newer luxury residences. Together, the two neighborhoods epitomize Americana charm.
The neighborhoods are just a short distance from Stanford University, the venture capital firms of Sand Hill Road, and the major tech companies located in and around Downtown Palo Alto. The area offers an intimate sense of community, and residents love the neighborly ambience. You will often glimpse people walking their dogs or children biking to top-ranking Menlo Park schools. Picturesque surroundings and premier access make this area unparalleled in its charm and desirability.
