"The Willows: Green area, great neighborhood and great schools"

The negative comments here are quite old and either outdated or not accurate. For example: Willow Oak school is not part of the Menlo Park school district. The Willows are part of the Menlo Park School district with Laurel/Upper Laurel school being some of the best elementary schools in the area. If you want a private school, there is Alto school. There is also a preschool available. Neighbors are friendly. We have block parties, neighbors talk to each other and help out. We are in walking distance to downtown Palo Alto. There are school buses for Encinal and Hillview middle school. The DB Express bus is also driving along Willow Road. There is shopping (Willows Market, 2 Mexican stores) a coffee place (Zoes) and a hair-dresser. It is a very green area. Highly thought after by young families with children.
