Fair Oaks balances small-neighborhood warmth with big-peninsula convenience. Tucked on the northeast side of Menlo Park near the borders of Redwood City and Atherton, it offers quick access to U.S. 101, Middlefield Road, and the Menlo Park Caltrain Station for an easy commute up or down the Bay. Streets mix classic midcentury homes with thoughtful remodels, and neighbors often cross paths at local cafés, Marsh Manor shops, or evening dog walks.
Weekends are made for outdoor time: the reimagined Flood Park brings ballfields, shaded picnic groves, and community events to the doorstep, while breezy trails and sweeping Bay views at Bedwell Bayfront Park invite sunrise jogs and kite-flying. Downtown errands are simple, and the broader amenities of San Mateo County are minutes away—from farmers’ markets to shoreline preserves.
Families value the range of nearby public and private school options. Many local students matriculate to acclaimed Menlo-Atherton High School, known for robust academics, arts, and athletics. Youth sports, library programs, and city-run classes round out an active calendar, and tech campuses and start-ups sit a short drive or bike ride away.
