Neighborhood Reviews & Questions

Neighborhood Review

Key Words:

Tranquil sophistication, Stately homes, Exclusive enclaves

Situated west of Alameda de las Pulgas, this neighborhood is set apart by its quiet, tree-lined streets and expansive properties. West of the Alameda is a neighborhood that caters to those who seek both affluence and a subtle sense of community. In contrast to the ultra-private atmosphere of West Atherton, West of Alameda provides a slightly more "neighborly" vibe while maintaining an air of exclusivity. This area is characterized by its stunning variety of architectural styles, from Spanish Revival to Contemporary and everything in-between. Unlike some other neighborhoods in Atherton, West of the Alameda sees a bit more pedestrian activity, thanks in part to its proximity to schools and parks. The homes here are still set on large, beautifully landscaped lots, but you'll find more residents out and about, walking dogs or jogging. While the neighborhood itself is predominantly residential without commercial establishments, its location in Atherton means that high-end shopping, dining, and entertainment options are easily accessible in nearby Menlo Park, Palo Alto, and Redwood City. If you're seeking the luxury and prestige associated with Atherton but enjoy a somewhat livelier community atmosphere, West of the Alameda may be the perfect fit for you. Here, you'll find an elegant blend of exclusivity and approachability.
