Menlo Oaks: Another forested Menlo Park enclave

January 6, 2007

Menlo Oaks is a cozy and rustic 106 acre neighborhood with a country feel bordering Menlo Park and Atherton.  Though often considered part of Menlo Park proper, it is officially an unincorporated neighborhood.

Menlo Oaks is family friendly, boasting the renowned private K-8 Peninsula School, occupying six acres.  Public school children are also well catered for, since the area is part of the Menlo Park Elementary School District, despite being unincorporated – a testament to the active, strong, and influential neighborhood associated which lobbied to be included.  Also within its boundaries are the Veteran’s Administration Hospital, and St. Patrick’s Seminary and Park.

Residents of Menlo Oaks love the fact that it has maintained a rustic feel throughout the years of development that now surround the enclave.  There are no street lamps or sidewalks, and many mature, towering trees add to its wooded feel.

Menlo Oaks contains approximately 300 homes, most of which occupy half acre lots.  A whole range of architectural styles, including modern,  can be viewed on a quiet walk through its winding streets.

Being both further from the highway and having larger lots than neighboring Flood Park, Menlo Oaks’ prices are accordingly higher.  Some of the streets – Berkeley Ave, for instance – boast large multi-million mansions, decked out with the finest touches that venture capital and high-tech riches can buy.
