"Now is the time to move to Belle Haven, Menlo Park !!!"

We moved here in October 2015 and we love it.
The houses are mostly 3 bedroom, 1 or 2 bathroom, single story detached 'Ranch Style'.
A lot of them come with a garage either attached or detached.
We moved here from renting a place in Downtown Menlo Park and I must say the neighbours here are much more friendly and warm.
We don't have Kids here, so can't really comment on the schools, but I find it ridiculous that two schools in the same City can score a 1 and a 10.
Menlo Park should be ashamed of itself for allowing this to happen.
There are a lot of improvements happening in and around Belle Haven such as the Facebook Campus Project, Menlo Gateway Project, 777 Hamilton Apartments, Sequoia Belle Haven Project and safety improvements to Chilco Street.
There is a great swimming pool on Terminal which I wish was open longer and at weekends plus gym facilities.
We need more shops and restaurants, but the ones that are here are really good.
The Police Station at the end of Hamilton is very good for safety in the neighbourhood.
Very close to 101 and Dumbarton Bridge for commuting.
We love living here !!!
