Palo Alto - Discover College Terrace

By Ken DeLeon
Cities of Silicon Valley

Although only a stone’s throw from Stanford University’s campus, College Terrace actually derives its name from the 12 streets that were named after illustrious East Coast universities. For residents here, Yale, Harvard, and Columbia are the streets they call home. This endearing feature along with the quaint local library, and many Stanford staff and students who reside here, summon an almost academic setting, and this neighborhood has the ambiance of a college town.
