Menlo Park Broker Tour Report
Tuesday, January 27, 2026
Slow and steady seems to be the pace for 2026. Properties still aren’t coming on in droves, and even the withdrawals from last year are slow to re-enter the market. As research shows, most withdrawals are owner occupied so they not only have to sell but then buy which, let’s be honest, is a lot of work, effectively becoming a full time job in and of itself and takes a commitment to sync up the timing. It will be interesting to see at what point this year when listings will pick-up.
MENLO PARK 301 – Sharon Heights / Stanford
Listing Agent Broker: Rebecca & Karen, Intero Real Estate Services
Address: 652 Sand Hill Cir (townhome)
Bedrooms: 3 – Bathrooms: 2 Full, 1 Half
Sqft: 2330
Lot Sqft: 1950
Price: $2,395,000
HOA: $840 p/m
Listing Agent remarks: Staged & shows beautifully! A West Menlo gem!
My takeaways: I do love these townhomes. I am always so impressed with how quiet this area is despite being right off of I-280 and Sand Hill Rd. This unit has the primary and upstairs bathrooms to be renovated. The sellers did a wonderful upgrade to the kitchen and half bath. It seems they were planning to stay a bit longer, so they just didn’t get to the bathrooms. This unit doesn’t have the best layout. The main floor is the living room and Primary, upstairs are 2 bedrooms and a bathroom, downstairs is the kitchen, dining and family room. Having the Primary right off the living room felt strange to me. These townhomes are popular so no doubt this will move fast.
Listing Agent Broker: Michael Warren, Compass
Address: 2445 Sharon Oaks Dr (townhome)
Bedrooms: 2 – Bathrooms: 2 Full
Sqft: 1714
Lot Sqft: 2494
Price: $1,550,000
HOA: $1,160 p/m
2025 Listing Price: $1,898,000
Listing Agent remarks: Priced below market to sell quick!
My takeaways: This is back on the market and priced to move. This is a property that needs quite a bit of work, but is in an excellent location for schools, shopping and access to Sand Hill Rd and I-280.
MENLO PARK 302 – County / Alameda Area
Listing Agent Broker: Adam Touni, Compass
Address: 915 Cloud Ave
Bedrooms: 4 – Bathrooms: 3 Full
Sqft: 1690
Lot Sqft: 6505
Price: $2,700,000
Listing Agent remarks: Great opportunity to remodel or build new!
My takeaways: Not much to see here. If you like the location and are ready to build your dream home, this one’s for you!
MENLO PARK 303 – Central Menlo Park
Listing Agent / Broker: Tom LeMieux, Compass
Address: 740 Windsor Dr
Bedrooms: 6 – Bathrooms: 5 Full, 2 Half
Sqft: 5075
Lot Sqft: 10017
Price: $8,350,000
Listing Agent remarks: 3 level home in pristine condition in prime central Menlo Park neighborhood.
My takeaways: This is a custom built home, built in 2014, and lightly lived in as the owners lived abroad most of the year. I loved the wood floors, they were a richer color than what you see today in newer homes. A wonderful corner lot in the heart of Menlo Park. The architect did an excellent job with the window placement on the lower level, so there is plenty of light, although one does look out on cement walls. It will be interesting to see if this house moves quickly or if this price range might be stagnant. I say this because of a house I was sure would fly off the market at this price point that is still on the market.
MENLO PARK 308 – Willows / O’Connor area
Listing Agent / Broker: Nicole Aron, Compass
Address: 357 McKendry Dr
Bedrooms: 3 – Bathrooms: 1 Full, 1 Half
Sqft: 1274
Lot Sqft: 5005
Price: $2,450,000
Listing Agent remarks: Lovely updated one-level home in the heart of the Willows!
My takeaways: Let’s be honest the 1 full bath for 3 bedrooms is asking a lot of the modern family. That said this is a lovely house, some really nice upgrades, and if I were the new owner, I would put in a lawn from the back sliding doors off the kitchen to the renovated garage and make that officially and indoor / outdoor space.
Listing Agent / Broker: Drew Doran, Compass
Address: 411 Chester St
Bedrooms: 3 – Bathrooms: 2 Full
Sqft: 1000
Lot Sqft: 6500
Price:$1,199,000
Listing Agent remarks: N/A
My takeaways: Take two of… Not much to see here. If you like the location and are ready to build your dream home, this one’s for you!
MENLO PARK 309 – Flood Park area
Listing Agent / Broker: Deleon Team, Deleon Realty
Address: 60 Lorelei Ln
Bedrooms: 3 – Bathrooms: 2 Full
Sqft: 1502
Lot Sqft: 5227
Price: $1,988,000
Listing Agent remarks: Timeless style and comfort in Menlo Park
My takeaways: The location is a ways away from Menlo Park, but this neighborhood off the Bay Road has a lot of families and is very community focused . Most of the streets have some sort of net/hoop and balls in front of the house and offer great, wide neighborhood streets to run around in. In fact, this area is called Lorelei Manor, and is officially “America’s First Nextdoor Neighborhood” ; it is where in 2010 the platform Nextdoor was started. Read more on that here.
