East Palo Alto sits along the bay next to Palo Alto and Menlo Park, and it's one of the most affordable ways to own a single-family home in this part of the Peninsula. It incorporated as a city in 1983.
What East Palo Alto is like
Most homes are postwar single-family houses east of Highway 101, many updated or expanded, with condo and townhome communities west of 101 near University Avenue. The Bay Trail and baylands along the eastern edge offer miles of waterfront paths, and University Avenue, 101 and the Dumbarton Bridge put Palo Alto, Menlo Park and the East Bay within easy reach.
Nearby areas
East Palo Alto borders Menlo Park and Palo Alto. If you're comparing it with nearby Belle Haven or other more affordable parts of the mid-Peninsula, I can walk you through recent sales.
