South of Midtown

South of Midtown is a delightful enclave that shares similarity of feeling with Professorville/Stanford, Los Gatos and Monte Sereno, interspersed with Cupertino and West San Jose. Often considered a source of the best home values for prestigious Palo Alto Schools, it is an extremely desirable Santa Clara Valley community. Characterized by mature landscaping and majestic redwoods, homes are modest bungalows, contemporary Eichlers, ranch-style or large & modified versions of the the same.

With it its proximity to Stanford University, top quality education is a priority for residents, as evidenced by the award-winning schools of the Palo Alto Unified School District (http://pausd.org/community/about/index.shtml). A complete listing of PAUSD schools can be found at http://pausd.org/parents/schools_sites/index.shtml. Boundary maps for the schools available at http://pausd.org/parents/schools_sites/downloads/AttendanceBoundaryMaps.pdf.

Unlike neighboring East Palo Alto, short sales and foreclosures are rare in this area. Overall, South of Midtown has experienced stable to modest changes in pricing as compared to the rest of the nation, or even other parts of Santa Clara County.

South of Midtown is generally located between Oregon Expressway, 101/Bayshore, Middlefield & Alma.
