Description
This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from March 14, 2024
A premier opportunity in prime Midtown, this expansive parcel of 12,759 sq. ft. (per survey) offers multiple possible uses such as building your dream home with an accompanying ADU, renting out the two existing homes for a consistent stream of income, or holding it as a land bank, as this size lot rarely becomes available in such an excellent location! Walking distance to Midtown Shopping Center, Hoover Park, and El Carmelo Elementary. Mere minutes to Mitchell Park's library, tennis, and pickleball courts, Cubberley Community Center's Mandarin bilingual programs and a multitude of extracurricular activities. California Avenue, Caltrain, and Stanford, are also close by, making this location hard to beat. The front home offers 2 bedrooms, 1 den, and 1 bath in 1,143 sq. ft. The rear home offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bath in 1,279 sq. ft. (both per appraisal). A detached garage offers extra storage space. Rarely does such an opportune property come along with this much potential.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIf you have any choice in the matter, I strongly advise you not to send your teenager to Palo Alto high school. The level of toxic stress at this school, exacerbated by miserable teachers, and under- educated administrators, is a recipe for distress amongst the students. The students grade-shame each other. My daughter was actually told by her fellow classmate that she was at risk of not graduating with a 3.7 GPA. And the sad part is that the child actually believed that. One notably unhappy teacher has a “dunce corner” where she humiliates students by having them stand in the corner if they’ve asked a question that the teacher feels is “stupid.” Another teacher keeps her room lights off and has students play videos at different volumes at different speeds - many without headsets - in the classroom. When some students cannot learn in this environment, they are penalized and blamed for not paying attention. When the administration is asked to step in, not only does stonewalling occur, but threats to the family are made. Our realtor told us that as many families leave Palo Alto for the schools as move into Palo Alto for the schools. This makes sense to me now that we have experienced that firsthand. There is enough stress placed on students without the unnecessary chaos of this dangerous school. We could not get out fast enough.Parent Review1mo ago - Jane Lathrop Stanford Middle School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIf your child ends up having any problems out of your control, the staff will be relentless in their handling of the situation while treating it as if it is the parent's or student's fault for their unfortunate circumstances. In my time here I have also witnessed mistreatment by both faculty and students toward students with disabilities, not understanding the accommodations required for those students to excel in a safe environment. I have friends who still talk about JLS staff and teachers in their therapy sessions well into their college years.Other Review8mo ago - Check out schools near 2596 Cowper St.
