Palo Alto is known as the birthplace of Silicon Valley and that unique heritage is proudly on display, with the Computer History Museum just down the street from Google’s world headquarters and countless other tech companies all over town. The restaurant scene rivals that of nearby San Francisco, with many small, independent eateries serving up some of the best food in the Bay Area.
With close proximity to the country’s tech center, it’s no surprise that Palo Alto apartments come with some of the most incredible amenities around. Residents also have access to dozens of options for outdoor recreation, including the gorgeous hiking and biking trails through the surrounding nature preserves, several golf courses, and easy access to San Francisco Bay. Bicycling is a popular mode of transportation around Palo Alto, with many bike-friendly routes around the city.
Palo Alto is famous as the home of Stanford University, and the campus is one of the most dominant landmarks in the area.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at Southwood Apartments
I've rented a 1 bedroom apartment here for 1.5 years and if I could, I would break my lease tomorrow. The property management team is non-existent and the only way to actually talk to someone is by contact the emergency maintenance team. When I did renew my lease (what a mistake), it took 3 weeks of emailing to get a response. There has been almost constant construction - for example, its 9:12am on a Saturday and construction has been going on for the last 30 minutes. If you submit a maintenance request, be prepared for them to just show up unannounced, at a random hour of the day and expect to enter your apartment, which is unreasonable at the very least. There are almost constant alarms going off at all hours throughout the complex, one from the fire panel that is low on batteries and others from water heater sensors that malfunction daily. As I'm writing this, in addition to the construction, there are 3 other alarms I can hear with my window open. Don't even get me started on the water bill which has gone up from under $80 last year to $150+ this year as we pay for the pool/spa and watering the lawn. Pool/spa was broken for a long time and ran water continuously for several days. More often than not the sprinklers water the sidewalk more than the actual grass. So if you're looking for an unreasonably expensive, noisy, inconsiderate apartment with a non-existent property management team, this might be the place for you.
