""Well, if you must go to school on the west coast..""

I am reminded of the quote from Frasier everytime Stanford is mentioned. While I am partial to the snowy Ithaca falls, I do admire Stanford and the beautiful campus that it has. The houses at college terrace are mostly occupied by either old money or people affliated with the school. The neighborhood is quiet, and has an intellectual feel, much like some neighborhoods in Cambridge, MA. These houses are not new, but because of the close proximity, it's a comfort to know that these properties will never depreciate in value, provided that they are kept up. Once every so often, a house in this neighborhood comes on the market. Snatch it up, people. It's a great way to save.

"Beautiful Neighborhood to Live in"

College Terrance is a really pretty neighborhood. As much as I want to live here, I wanted to go to school here. College Terrance got its name because its right next to Stanford University. My friend goes to school at Standford, and rents a house here in this neighborhood with a few roommates. I have stayed over night before with her, and there isn't a problem at all with the noise level.
The houses here are big, beautiful, and new. The streets are clean and parking isn't hard to find. It has lots of different colors and types of trees on the streets. It's a great place for a jog or just a walk down the street after a meal.
