"If you have 2-3 million dollars to buy a home in West Menlo Park of Palo Alto, great. If you are looking for a home under 1 million dollars with great schools, a local community center (Zoe Cafe, Spa in the Park, Hair Salon, Grocery Market, Custom cake shop, etc), stroller-friendly sidewalks and walkable access to downtown Menlo and Palo Alto then the Willows is really the only place to look. We have lived in the Willows for 5 years and love it."
