Menlo Commons

Menlo Commons in Menlo ParkMenlo Commons, a senior community of active and independent residents, is located at 2140 Santa Cruz Ave in the lovely city of Menlo Park!

Menlo Commons is a 55+ community, meaning that at least one resident must be age 55 or older, but other residents can be any age. Residents enjoy plenty of features in the resort-like community space, with common areas including a large kitchen, a large formal dining or meeting room, an exercise room, plenty of lounge areas with large windows, grass fields, and a pool and hot tub, to name a few. Common areas, grounds, and resident parking are gated with ample open parking to residents and visitors. Units come in one to two bedroom floorplans, each with balconies, and Home Owners Association (HOA) Dues are appx $600-$760 per month for one and two bed units respectively.

What makes Menlo Commons really special is its fantastic location. This complex is stationed near the boarder of Menlo Park and Stanford with plenty of benefits. Menlo Commons has easy access to both 280 and 82 and is tied into a bus route. Shopping and entertainment abound, with the Stanford Golf Course about a block away, Safeway less than half a mile away, Stanford Shopping Center about 1.5 miles down the road, and with downtown Menlo Park only a little farther.

Living so close to the university makes it a snap to enjoy regular outings to enjoy musical, theatrical, and sports events.
