About
Perched amongst open space preserves, the Palo Alto Hills neighborhood moves at its own pace. The serenity and peace provided by the surrounding hills is ideal for nature lovers and those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of Silicon Valley.
With a Mediterranean climate year-round and great hiking, biking, and equestrian trails in every direction, residents can fully indulge in beautiful Pearson-Arastradero Preserve and private Foothills Park. If that isn’t enough, membership is available to the impressive facilities and course at Palo Alto Hills Golf & Country Club, which plays host to events and weddings throughout the year. The Country Club offers swimming, tennis, golf, and great dining options and is a social nexus of this neighborhood.
The topography and diverse homes on unique lots, some with stunning views, others featuring vineyards, makes for some challenges when trying to determine fair market value. Thus, Palo Alto Hills is its own micro-market, which can mean a slightly more intricate process and strategy for buyers and sellers. However, average lot sizes of over an acre, and unparalleled privacy and luxury make Palo Alto Hills amazingly desirable. For residents looking to be closer inland, they can opt for a home in the small enclave of Esther Clark Park and Greater Miranda with generous floorplans on sizeable lots.
Due to its geographic location, many Palo Alto Hills residents find themselves gravitating towards the charming Village of Los Altos for many of their
everyday needs.
