Menlo Park Overview

Snugly located in the heart of the San Francisco bay area, Menlo Park is a thriving, working-class hub of the California scene. With over 30,000 residents proudly calling the city home, and boasting one of the most educated populaces in all of the nation (70% of residence claim at least a Bachelor's Degree!), this in-demand hot spot is an excellent locale to live, work and play.

What is the history of Menlo Park?

Coining the name Menlo Park in the 1850s, the arrival of the San Francisco / San Jose Railroad in 1863 saw the population grow exponentially. A town post office soon followed, and the city was officially incorporated a few short years later. 1917 saw a large portion of the city regulated to a training area for World War I servicemen, dubbed Camp Fremont, and Stanford University would later purchase a large lot of land to house students via the GI Bill. The city experienced further development in the 1960s in the form of upscale homes, and today Menlo Park is the main residence of a number of tech companies, including Facebook.

How is the weather in Menlo Park?

California is known for its sunny weather, and those living in Menlo Park apartments can expect much of the same. Fog can occasionally be chilly, especially in the fall and spring, although snow is practically unheard of in the area. Summers tend to be warm and pleasant.

How do I get around town?

The Caltrain offers a rail station in the city, although most residing in Menlo Park apartments tend to own at least one personal vehicle for much of their day-to-day travel. Some bus service is also to be found, as are taxis and ride sharing options such as Uber. Bicycling is increasingly popular around the city as well, and the San Francisco International Airport is a short ride away from most rentals in Menlo Park.

What is the Menlo Park commute like?

For those commuting to San Fran proper, the daily drive can be a tad time consuming, although Menlo Park's close proximity makes it far less taxing than, say, Los Angeles traffic. Dumbarton Bridge connects the city center to nearby Fremont, while the Bayshore Freeway connects with Highway 101 for a cruise up the coast. Sand Hill Road is arguably the most-used 'main street' in the city, connecting to the heart of downtown via Santa Cruz Blvd.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'San Francisco Chronicle' acts as the primary print media outlet in the region, with a number of events and art listing periodicals also readily available. Likewise, broadcasting is omnipresent, with every major network found with ease thanks to San Francisco-based affiliates. Radio tends to be a blend of classical, jazz, modern rock and talk formats.

Why live in Menlo Park, CA?

Offering a sound economic base thanks to a number of tech firm employers including Facebook, Intuit and E* Trade, apartments in Menlo Park offer a fantastic way of life for the budding young professional and growing families alike. A diverse, art-centric population helps craft a charming ambiance to the city, with progressive lifestyles the norm. Area schools consistently receive high marks, and the nearby scenery of the San Francisco bay is a true marvel of natural beauty to behold. Add to that world class eateries and museums, and you have a California city well worthy of consideration.

What Menlo Park landmarks should I see?

Stroll the Rodin Sculpture Garden and marvel at the famed artist's work, or enjoy a public tour of the Stanford Memorial Church, an architecture fan's dream. The nearby Hanna House is a Frank Lloyd Wright structure, and the eerie ambiance of the Stanford Mausoleum is a must-see for history buffs.

What is there to do around Menlo Park?

Enjoy some famous tacos at Celia's or grab a famous pastrami sandwich and a pint at The Refuge, two of the most popular eateries in the city. Flood Park is an excellent spot for a picnic, and the Cantor Center for the Arts is a great option for those residing in Menlo Park apartments on a rainy afternoon.

Any annual festivals or Menlo Park events to know?

Menlo Summer Fest is the largest yearly gathering in the city, offering food, music and plenty of fanfare, while the Mountain View Art and Wine Festival grows in popularity and crowd size with each passing season.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Head south to the seafood mecca of San Diego, or spend a few sightseeing days among the stars of Hollywood, both easy escapes for anyone residing in Menlo Park apartments. For the outdoorsy types, the mountains of Oregon offer camping and hiking with the bonus of a scenic drive up Highway 101.

Where is the best place to move in Menlo Park?

From the scenic beauty of Felton Gables to the historic region of Sharon Heights, Menlo Park rentals are available to fit just about every lifestyle. So why let another moment pass without a great California home of your very own? Start your hunt today, and see what life in a Menlo Park apartment is all about!
