Fair Oaks Neighborhood —A neighborhood with a strong, active sense of community
Located less than a mile awy from Highway 101 between Menlo Park and Redwood City, Fair Oaks is touted as one of the few “true neighborhoods” in the San Francisco Bay Area. As one of the most active neighborhood associations in San Mateo County, the Fair Oaks Beautification Association goes to great lengths to bring the community together and make Fair Oaks a highly desirable place to live for families young and old.
