University Heights Neighborhood Real Estate Insider
Home prices in 2006 ranged from $820,000 to $2,293,000 with the median home selling for $1,410,000. Few of the summer bungalows built in the 1920s remain, and today University Heights is a mix of many styles and sizes of houses. Recent changes in ordinance allow for slightly larger homes to be built in University Heights than in downtown Menlo Park, but how homes are sited on lots is still strictly controlled.
University Heights is located between La Entrada and Las Lomitas school in an unincorporated area of San Mateo County. Recently, residents have come together to revamp the three-block strip of retail and restaurant stores in the neighborhood. Issues with parking, pedestrian safety and public access were addressed and trees were planted along Alameda de Las Pulgas, which runs through University Heights.
Restaurants and shops in the commercial strip offer a wide range of flavors for University Heights residents to enjoy. From pizza places like Avanti and the Round Table and family-oriented restaurant Lutticken’s to meeting places like the Dutch Goose and Lulu’s Taqueria, the Alameda serves as an excellent gathering spot for neighbors and visitors alike.
