Stanford Weekend Acres is a pocket of creekside living where leafy lanes meet world-class institutions and everyday convenience. Tucked along Alpine Road and the banks of San Francisquito Creek, it places you minutes from the academic and cultural energy of Stanford University and the shops and eateries of downtown Menlo Park and nearby Palo Alto. Commuters appreciate quick connections to Sand Hill Road, I-280, and the Menlo Park Caltrain Station, while cyclists and runners revel in easy access to local paths.
Weekends here can mean a sunrise climb on the iconic loop at the Dish, a stroll to neighborhood cafés, or a quiet moment under heritage trees listening to the creek. Golfers sneak in nine at Stanford’s course; design fans admire the neighborhood’s eclectic mix of original cottages and thoughtfully updated homes that preserve its rustic spirit while embracing modern comforts.
Families are drawn to strong schools. The neighborhood typically feeds into the well-regarded Las Lomitas Elementary School District, with upper grades at La Entrada Middle School, and then on to Menlo-Atherton High via the Sequoia Union High School District. With parks, campus museums, and shopping close by, daily life balances nature, culture, and convenience.
