Planned For Living Well

It is the way of life that makes this neighborhood special. When building began in 1929, the founders of the Allied Arts part of the neighborhood envisioned a beautifully designed arts community, a sanctuary of sorts for artisans, artists and other creatives. Designed to inspire, this neighborhood maintains that original artsy vibe, with artisan boutiques, art studios and galleries, floral gardens and cozy cafes.

Just over the San Francisquito Creek pedestrian bridge is the Stanford Shopping Center. The Downtown part of the neighborhood features an array of authentically vintage shops, boutiques and eateries, as well as modern retailers. The local farmers market sets up nearby at Fremont Park, also the site of summer concerts and other events. Nealon Park has a playground, an off-leash dog park and a baseball field.
