Menlo Park Overview
Snugly located in the heart of the San Francisco bay area, Menlo Park is a thriving, working-class hub of the California scene. With over 30,000 residents proudly calling the city home, and boasting one of the most educated populaces in all of the nation (70% of residence claim at least a Bachelor's Degree!), this in-demand hot spot is an excellent locale to live, work and play.
What is the history of Menlo Park?
Coining the name Menlo Park in the 1850s, the arrival of the San Francisco / San Jose Railroad in 1863 saw the population grow exponentially. A town post office soon followed, and the city was officially incorporated a few short years later. 1917 saw a large portion of the city regulated to a training area for World War I servicemen, dubbed Camp Fremont, and Stanford University would later purchase a large lot of land to house students via the GI Bill. The city experienced further development in the 1960s in the form of upscale homes, and today Menlo Park is the main residence of a number of tech companies, including Facebook.
How is the weather in Menlo Park?

What is the Menlo Park commute like?

Sand Hill Road is arguably the most-used 'main street' in the city, connecting to the heart of downtown via Santa Cruz Blvd.

The 'San Francisco Chronicle' acts as the primary print media outlet in the region, with a number of events and art listing periodicals also readily available.
