Living in Palo Alto
Home to Stanford University, Palo Alto has an educated and preppy vibe. It's located in Silicon Valley and is home to companies including Hewlett-Packard and Skype. With that said, there's less of a techy feel than in other parts of the Bay Area, including the city of Mountain View located just a few miles down El Camino Real. Palo Alto has higher housing costs than other nearby areas, so renters on a budget often live in studio apartments or share a one-bedroom place rather than live in luxury apartments. The downtown centers around University Avenue, where you'll find lots of restaurants.
Getting around
The Caltrain runs through Palo Alto and can take riders north to San Francisco or south to San Jose. Buses operated by VTA and SamTrans run to nearby areas, but beware of necessary connections. Palo Alto is very bike-friendly, with 9% of residents bike commuting to work. If you drive, parking isn't too hard to find outside of weekend nights.
