Menlo Park, California

Belle Haven.

Menlo Park's bayfront community, where marsh trails meet neighborhood pride and Meta's campus sits minutes away.

The neighborhood

The bayfront neighborhood

Belle Haven occupies Menlo Park's eastern edge along the bay: a diverse, tight-knit community of single-family homes with some of the city's most accessible prices. The neighborhood's identity is strong — local markets, churches and generations of families — and its location is strategic.

Meta's headquarters and the Bayfront's tech campuses are minutes away, and Bedwell Bayfront Park's 160 acres of trails sit at the neighborhood's edge. For buyers priced out of west Menlo Park, Belle Haven is the Peninsula's value corridor with genuine upside.
