Downtown

University Avenue is your front porch.

 

University Avenue was built to connect a new town to a new university, and it has been Palo Alto's living room ever since.

It has reinvented itself many times, from bakeries to restaurants to the Varsity Theatre's many lives. Today it's sidewalk dining, independent shops and longtime local favorites, side by side.

Living here means condos, townhomes and a handful of classic houses, all steps from dinner, Caltrain and the Stanford campus.

What Makes Downtown Different

  • Everything on Foot. Restaurants, coffee, shops and Caltrain, all within a few blocks.
     
  • Easy Living. Condos and townhomes with less to maintain, so you can lock the door and travel.
     
  • Stanford Next Door. The campus, the Stanford Shopping Center and the medical center are minutes away.

Selling in Downtown Palo Alto

Downtown has fewer homes for sale than most neighborhoods, so each one stands out. Buyers here are choosing a lifestyle, and they compare carefully.

I focus on what makes your home the right choice: the light, the layout, the walk to dinner. Then I price it to compete and keep you updated every week.
