Overview for Menlo Park

For years, the city of Menlo Park, founded in 1854, was content to sit quietly next to Palo Alto and Stanford University. Its downtown was rather ho-hum, and usually, people from outside the Bay Area didn’t know where it was. Today, it is now a firm part of Silicon Valley. Sand Hill Road venture capitalists and Facebook have put the city on the national map, as well as the Google founders (a garage in South of Seminary), Kepler’s Books, the first Round Table Pizza, and even San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (he went to kindergarten at Oak Knoll School).
 
Being on the map also brings challenges, such as the significant rise in housing prices in areas near tech campuses and increased traffic, though gridlock woes have taken a backseat as the pandemic has forced many workers to set up offices at home. The pandemic also has significantly reshaped the city budget, which was unprecedentedly lean at the start of the new fiscal year in July. And, as in other Bay Area communities, the crisis has also spurred a creative approach to supporting local restaurants and retail. Last year, the city closed o! three blocks of downtown Santa Cruz Avenue to allow for safer outdoor dining and shopping.
