About Research
Park
Research Park, located between Page Mill Road and San Antonio Road, is a corporate and campus-style Palo Alto neighborhood with low-slung office architecture and broad, landscaped setbacks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Page Mill Road and Hanover Street corridor, where glass-and-steel headquarters, shaded courtyards, and weekday coffee counters set a focused, workday rhythm. Stanford Research Park’s midcentury-modern office blocks and tree-lined internal drives define the streetscape. The Baylands Nature Preserve and the Adobe Creek corridor add open-sky edges and bike-route continuity. Stanford Shopping Center and the Cantor Arts Center sit nearby as cultural and retail anchors.
