Palo Alto Hills Neighborhood Real Estate Insider
Originally developed in the 1960s, new development is kept at a minimum in Palo Alto Hills. However, a recent influx of new families has resulted in the construction of more luxurious, modern homes where the older ranch-style homes once stood. The median home in 2006 sold for around 2.5 million in 2006.
While the real estate in Palo Alto Hills may be the main draw, the natural environment is certainly a great amenity. Residents in Palo Alto Hills can enjoy views of the Arastradero Open Space Preserve and Foothills Park as well as the occasional sighting of a bob cat, mountain lion or coyote, and the far, far more frequent sighting of a deer or turkey.
Palo Alto Hills neighbors are known to bring housewarming gifts to new residents and welcome them into the Palo Alto hills Neighborhood Association, which currently boasts about 77 households. The association addresses community concerns (such as traffic, rising crime and fire prevention) as well as organizing the annual neighborhood dinner at the local Palo Alto Hills Country Club.
Though treks up and down the hills are admittedly great exercise, most people find that they need to drive for shopping and running errands. Palo Alto Hills, California is conveniently located between Los Altos’ downtown area and California Avenue, where most residents do their grocery shopping and other errands. Hwy 280 is a hop and a skip away, making for efficient driving time to San Francisco and points north or destinations in Santa Clara County and points south.
