Barron Park Home Values
& 1% Listing Fee
Barron Park sits in southwest Palo Alto along Matadero Creek near El Camino Real and Barron Avenue, a semi-rural pocket famous for the donkeys at Bol Park. Larger, irregular lots and a leafy, low-density feel distinguish it from Palo Alto's grid neighborhoods. Lot size, the Juana Briones feeder, and the neighborhood's rustic character anchor value, and homes with usable acreage or creekside settings command a premium.
