Menlo Park's park-side neighborhood, where heritage oaks shade family streets around one of the county's beloved parks.

The neighborhood

Life around the oaks

The Flood Park neighborhood takes its identity from the 21-acre county park at its heart: heritage valley oaks, playing fields, picnic groves and summer concerts. The surrounding streets are classic family Menlo Park — ranch homes, cottages and updated builds on friendly blocks.

Buyers get the Menlo Park City School District, genuine neighborhood community and a park that functions as the area's backyard. It is family-first Menlo Park at a relative value to the western hills.
