This is definitely a place for middle class Palo Alto people. Everyday we see people jog or walk around the blocks which makes this place safe from crime. Most houses are Eichlers and people meant to keep it this way. Block parties in the summers are quite common. Because 3 best schools in the block, this neighborhood became young home buyers favorite. The houses price tripled since we bought our own.(in 12 years) Charleston plaza is right across the street which is very convenient for grocery shopping, dining, coffee, dry cleaning and pets stuff. Right on Alma there's grocery outlet which is also good place to shop. YMCA is like two blocks away. Free Palo Alto shuttle circles through the neighborhood. Mitchell park adjacent to JLS middle school is beautiful for everything - soccer, tennis, BBQ, water park etc. Newly finished Mitchell park library attracted many people from Bay Area. And the Magic Bridge Playground became the place for every kid even teenagers favorite place to have play date or hang out. Compare to the other areas of the city, this is probably least expensive area. Just love love this neighborhood!!
