The Willowss in Menlo Park is a dog friendly neighborhood located between San Francisquito Creek and Willow Road. Eucalyptus, oak and bay trees line the streets making it a nice place to walk your dog. It also has a neighborhood dog park which is one of the best in town. Willow Oaks dog park has limited hours but a newly reseeded lawn and friendly people. To search for homes near Willow Oaks dog park, click here.
The Willows has a strong sense of community. They even have their own Yahoo Group at Willows_neighborhood@yahoogroups.comwhere neighbors stay connected and share information. As I was driving through the Willows previewing property on Broker’s tour, I saw the above Basset Xing sign posted to a tree. Now that is dog friendly!
A bike path connects The Willows to Palo Alto making trips to downtown Palo Alto with your pooch an easy walk over the San Francisquito Creek.
There is a new listing at 221 McKendry Drive which is my top pick for dog friendly property in the Willows. It is walking distance to Willow Oaks, located on a quiet street and was formerly occupied by two King Charles Cavaliers. This 3 bedroom 1 bath home features an updated and expanded kitchen, top of the line appliances, hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, dual pane windows, wood burning fireplace and garage bonus room. There is a nice backyard area for your dogs to enjoy. Open house Saturday and Sunday.
