Palo Alto neighborhoods
Palo Alto 94301Old Palo AltoSpanish Revival, Tudor and Colonial homes with deep lots and mature trees. Beautiful houses, often with heating systems added decades after they were built. We make them comfortable without compromising what makes them special.Palo Alto 94301Crescent ParkLarge lots along the creek, mature oaks, and a mix of classic homes and new construction. Bigger houses usually mean more than one system, and getting the zoning right is what makes them comfortable.Palo Alto 94301ProfessorvilleBrown-shingle, Craftsman and Colonial Revival homes built for Stanford’s early faculty. Comfort upgrades here need a light touch, discreet equipment and respect for the details that make the district special.Palo Alto 94306College TerraceCottages and bungalows on narrow lots, streets named after universities, and Stanford right next door. On a tight lot, the quietest and best-placed equipment wins.Palo Alto 94303MidtownPost-war ranch homes, plenty of remodels, and a neighborhood center you can walk to. Many Midtown homes are on their second or third furnace and ready for a smarter system.Palo Alto 94306Barron ParkWinding streets, big trees, creekside lots and a famous pair of donkeys at Bol Park. Barron Park homes are as varied as the neighborhood, and so are their heating and cooling systems.Palo Alto 94306GreenmeadowAbout 300 Eichlers built in the mid-1950s around a shared community center and pool. Radiant floors, walls of glass and post-and-beam ceilings make these homes beautiful and a little tricky to heat and cool.Palo Alto 94306FairmeadowFairmeadow’s Eichlers line the concentric streets locals call “the Circles.” Many still run on original radiant heat, and most were never designed for air conditioning. We fix both.
