Around the Block
Menlo park:
Suburban charm with the heartbeat of a sunny city.
Drive or walk from home to Santa Cruz Avenue, Menlo Park’s charming main drag, with its fine dining and luxury boutiques — but, be careful, you won’t be able to help striking up a conversation with a friendly shopkeeper.

What to expect:
An active community with a carpe diem attitude.
Menlo Park runs, bikes, kayaks and hikes — and it’s not shy about it. It’s a town that plays hard during the day and tends to go to bed early.

The lifestyle:
Though more and more restaurants are catering to European-style late-night eats and outdoor bistro tables, Menlo Park lacks any real nightlife, but for dog lovers and families, it’s idyllic: Kids run around in the park on sunny afternoons while happy dogs trot beside avid runners.
Dog- and family-friendly, with a penchant for being outside.
