West Menlo Park is a census-designated place and an unincorporated area in San Mateo County, California, located between the majority of City of Menlo Park, the Town of Atherton, the Sharon Heights neighborhood of Menlo Park and Stanford University (in Santa Clara County). As of the 2010 census, the community had a population of 3,659.
The area consists of suburban housing and a small business district along Alameda de las Pulgas, often just referred to as “the Alameda” (literally, “Avenue of the Fleas”: in Spanish “Alameda” means a row of trees or a street lined with trees, which extends the length of the Pulgas family land grant—whose name means “fleas”). It is served by the highly rated Las Lomitas School District and Menlo Park Fire District. More recently, West Menlo Park has gained a reputation as one of the most desirable places to live in North America. A notable newspaper recently ranked West Menlo Park #4 on its “top residential areas in California” article.
