Stanford Hills

Stanford Hills is a loosely upper middle-class community and a great environment to raise a family. Yet its still hard to get a good grasp on, considering its extremely small. So much so that the area encompasses only a few residential blocks and spans just 0.15 square miles. And not surprisingly, only about 250 people live within the district’s limits. It’s most promising characteristic is its proximity to the prominent Stanford University and all the luxuries that come with it.

Stanford Hills is an almost exclusively residential district. Within it, lies everything from beautiful community aesthetics to peaceful roads stretching behind Stanford University. For the perspective resident, residences are usually long, one-story ranch homes plotted on somewhat large, bushy (but well-groomed) properties. For numbers sake, the average estimated house values are a pricey $1.5 million, while average household incomes rake in about $150,000/year.

Although drastically small, Stanford Hills is a well-connected community that seems to cater/oblige Stanford University. In fact, it is located adjacent to the Stanford Golf Course and the university’s campus. Otherwise, the community is cornered against the Slack National Accelerator Laboratory (which is part of Stanford) and the Sharon Heights Shopping Center. The latter of which serves as the community’s main shopping hub and offers a couple grocery shopping essentials along with a handful of nice, family-style restaurants.
