The San Francisco Peninsula is narrow finger of land separating San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean, stretching from San Francisco at its northern tip to the bustling cities of Silicon Valley to the south.
To those who live in the heart of this area straddling the San Mateo/Santa Clara county line, it’s more a state of mind than a geographic phenomenon. “The Peninsula” conjures images of gracious homes on broad, shady streets lush with mature trees and garden greenery.
Home to many businesses large and small, The Peninsula has experienced ongoing economic growth that has created job and business opportunities of all types. Peninsula communities are mid-way between San Francisco and San Jose, both of which can be reached easily by car or train.
The chic and charming villages of Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Los Altos, Portola Valley, Atherton and Woodside offer a wide array of colorful shops, gourmet restaurants and first-rate cultural attractions, along with all the goods and services needed to manage a busy household with the least amount of time and travel.
Add some of the highest rated schools in California, a temperate climate, parks, mountains, bike trails and other nearby outdoor recreational opportunities and you have the formula for a lifestyle that most people can only dream about.
All this has made The Peninsula one of the most desirable places to live in the highly desirable San Francisco Bay Area. Purchasing a home here is both a secure financial investment and an opportunity to experience California living at its finest.
Each one of The Peninsula’s elegant yet comfortable communities has a unique history and identity. Find out which one best suits your needs and interests:
