Downtown North grew up in the early 1900s, just as Palo Alto was finding its feet. A florist ran his business from backyard greenhouses here. Palo Alto's first female physician saw patients from her home a few blocks away.
Today the neighborhood mixes Victorian homes and cottages with newer buildings, all a few minutes' walk from University Avenue.
If you want to leave the car in the garage most days, this is the place.
What Makes Downtown North Different
- The Walkability. Restaurants, shops, Lytton Plaza and Caltrain, all on foot.
- The Homes. Victorians and early cottages with real history, alongside thoughtful modern builds.
- The Setting. Bounded by San Francisquito Creek on one side and downtown on the other.
Selling in Downtown North
Buyers love this neighborhood, and they also ask good questions about the creek, traffic on the busier streets, and the age of the home.
The best sales here answer those questions before they're asked, with clear disclosures and inspections done up front. It builds buyer confidence, and confident buyers pay more. I'll walk you through every step and keep you updated weekly.
