Neighborhood

Located about three miles southeast of Downtown Palo Alto, Ventura is an upscale neighborhood with access to abundant amenities. This neighborhood has high-end condos, apartments, and houses available for rent tucked in quiet, palm tree-lined streets. As a Silicon Valley community, Ventura is great for tech professionals since the neighborhood is home to multiple tech companies and is also within close proximity to the offices of major industry leaders like Google, Amazon, and Yahoo. Ventura is home to a few computer repair shops, spas, gyms, small retail stores, and restaurants.

The neighborhood’s greatest allure is its excellent location. Great for families, Ventura residents have access to award-winning schools, several parks, and family-friendly activities. Ventura is within walking distance of the renowned Stanford University, and the Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo, Magical Bridge Playground, California’s Great America, and the Intel Museum are all less than 20 minutes away.

Very responsive management

I live there for more than 10 years, the management has been great.

10/9/23
We really enjoyed our time at Merrillee Apartments

We really enjoyed our time at Merrillee Apartments. Our apartment was spacious, bright, with brand-new kitchen appliances and a nice balcony immersed in nature. We also enjoyed the free parking and bike room. The apartments are very well kept and the property managers are very helpful and always available. Safe neighborhood with lots of parks, close to the restaurants and shops of California Avenue, the Caltrain and very easy commute to Stanford. I highly recommend Merrilee Apartments for housing in Palo Alto.

10/9/23
Hidden gem in Palo Alto

We lived here for about two years; Anne and Dave, who manage the property are genuinely kind and were always willing to go the extra mile. While the apartments themselves are on the older side, Anne and Dave have worked tons to upgrade them. The apartment is excellent value given the location; I would often walk to cal-ave / caltrain station. It is a 10 min bike ride to Stanford! Whenever we needed assistance, they were just an email away, and any issues were promptly addressed. We had to move, but if we stay in the neighborhood again, we’d go back in a heartbeat!

2/14/22
Multiple stays, always great

Our family has lived at Merrilee Terrace Apartments in a 1 bedroom apartment near the pool, a 2 bedroom one bath, and a 3 bedroom 2 bath over 10+ years. In addition to being conveniently located in Palo Alto, near San Antonio Shopping center and 10min away from Los Altos, the property is in the Ventura neighborhood, which has events at the community center and you feel like a true part of the community. In addition, the property is very well managed. They are constantly doing upgrades to the common areas, they renovate apartments after tenants move out, and because the managers live on property, they can react quickly if there is any problem and fix it in no time. On top, they will even deliver your packages to your door if they see them left on top of the mailbox! We have loved living there while our kids went to great Palo Alto schools, have felt safe and cared for as tenant. I cannot recommend the property and the management highly enough.

7/1/21
Wonderful place, wonderful people

I stayed for more than four years at Merrilee Terrace - it is a true sanctuary in the middle of one of the most busy places on earth. The apartments are in great condition, the neighbors are freindly, it's quiet and cosy, and, above all, Anne and David are always there for you. They really care about their community. From the very first day, I felt at home. 10/10 would recommend!
