At one time, the Palo Alto Orchards neighborhood was rich with fruit-bearing trees. These days, the only remnant of the area's agricultural past is its name. The serene, family-friendly neighborhood of cul-de-sacs and tree-lined streets was built around the end of World War II. Today, Palo Alto Orchards offers residents tranquil luxury in a lush environment near some of the largest technology companies in the world.
Palo Alto Orchards sits about 34 miles south of San Francisco. San Jose is about a 20-minute drive away via El Camino Real or Highway 101. Close proximity to Mountain View and Stanford places the community near some of the area’s top employers. Numerous nature preserves and parks are also within easy driving distance of Palo Alto Orchards, providing ample opportunities for outdoor recreation close to home.

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.
