Menlo Oaks Neighborhood —A rural, unincorporated neighborhood with a steadfast sense of community
Located in San Mateo County between Ringwood Avenue, Bay Road, Coleman Avenue and Berkeley Avenue, Menlo Oaks is called the “county area” of Menlo Park, California and residents like it that way. The community has a strongly rural feel, with mature oaks, eucalyptus and evergreen trees lining the properties, and unpaved pathways rather than sidewalks. Menlo Oaks is a pleasantly peaceful community to raise a family.

Neighbors meet formally once a year and are kept updated with an electronic newsletter and bulletin board.
Education is also a major concern to families in Menlo Oaks, prompting the association to lobby to change the neighborhoods school district from the current Ravenswood school district to the much higher scoring Menlo Park City School District.
