Quiet, picturesque, tree-lined streets, a rich mix of architectural styles, and an atmosphere of understated affluence define Old Palo Alto. Long admired for its beauty and prestige, the neighborhood draws a blend of established wealth and prominent tech figures, earning its reputation as one of the Peninsula’s most desirable residential enclaves. Generous lot sizes—among the largest in Palo Alto—high standards of design and construction, and a deep sense of history add to its enduring appeal. While recent additions include tasteful eight-figure estates, the area remains anchored by exquisite architectural gems dating back to the 1920s and 1930s. Home prices in Old Palo Alto consistently rank among the highest in the city, with appreciation over the past 15 years outpacing many other Palo Alto neighborhoods. Its prime location near Highway 101 and Stanford University, coupled with top-tier schools and abundant public parks, further enhances its desirability. With its gracious charm and beloved community traditions—from festive Halloweens to neighborhood gatherings—Old Palo Alto continues to be a first choice for those seeking the very best in homes and community.
