WHAT TO EXPECT
The “Birthplace of Silicon Valley", Palo Alto is home to many influential high-tech companies and its residents are among America's most educated.
THE LIFESTYLE
Students and tech workers letting off steam over beers downtown in this hardworking suburb.
Innovation and academics dominate conversations here during the week, while weekends are spent relaxing: wandering down University Avenue in search of brunch or meandering through sunlit trails in any one of Palo Alto’s 30 parks.
UNEXPECTED APPEAL
Gorgeous Stanford within reach and arboreal abundance.
Palo Alto is chock-full of oaks and other towering trees along its lanes and open spaces — which make up roughly a third of this city’s acreage — but nearby Stanford is Palo Alto’s intellectual roots. The occasional evening lecture or after-work course are the norm.
THE MARKET
High price points for modest homes.
Palo Alto is a home of big tech. The real estate market reflects that. With a median home price of close to $3 million, you have your choice of charming ranches or modern two-story homes on gridded streets with relatively small lots, but you can expect to pay up for it. Even a condo here will go for more than a million or two.
YOU'LL FALL IN LOVE WITH
A spirit of hopeful innovation that exudes from everything and a very relaxed and healthy lifestyle.
Job opportunities abound and a buzz of excitement in town might draw you in, but fresh vegetables at the weekly farmer’s market and weekends dedicated to being outside in the perfectly temperate weather will surely make you stay - often times forever.
