Evergreen Park is an oasis in the middle of the bustle of Palo Alto. The neighborhood offers an uber convenient location blocks from the California Ave shopping district and kitty-corner from Stanford University. The judicious use of traffic circles and street blocks prevent casual pass-through traffic and give the neighborhood the feel of a giant cul-de-sac. Peers Park serves as the neighborhood’s playground and gathering place and neighbors are active in coming together through block parties and an annual BBQ. Architectural styles are a mix of a few turn-of the century homes, 1930’s bungalows and recently built homes. There is a mix of single-family and multi-family dwellings as well as a few apartment complexes, making this one of Palo Alto’s most varied residential neighborhoods.
