"Downtown condos"
Okay, to be fair, not everything is a condo here, but the places that aren't condos are small, modern ranches. We've all heard the term "location, location, location" in the world of real estate, and in Silicon Valley, this translates to proximity to the downtown areas. Franklin Street is just far enough that it avoids some of the noise and traffic, but close enough that one can walk to the many coffee shops, bars and ethnic restaurants nearby.
The houses here are either smaller or are condos, but that doesn't really affect the price. It's not San Francisco, but it's cool enough to warrant higher real estate prices for less space.
