Palo Alto
Palo Alto is what most people think of when
they hear Silicon Valley. It is the heart of the Valley: home to Stanford
and venture capital, the two ingredients that created Silicon Valley.
There are 25,952 housing units: 15,538 single-family, 1,008 attached,
9,293 multiple units and 113 mobile homes. Many older homes and many
expensive homes, but the city has limits against overbuilding on lots and
height. One of the more expensive cities in the Valley, excluding the
small towns like Monte Sereno.
About 25% of the city is devoted to parks. The streets are tree-lined
and the city has great restaurants, coffee shops and bookstores.
Very big on the fine arts, much of it located at Stanford. There's a
lot to be said for Palo Alto and almost nothing to be said against it,
except for real estate prices, but that's endemic to the Valley.
