THE COMMUNITY The City of Menlo Park is a city of beautiful, tree-lined neighborhoods and active commercial districts. Located conveniently between the major metropolitan areas of San Francisco and San Jose, Menlo Park is home to approximately 36,000 residents in its 19 square miles. Menlo Park's residents reflect a range of backgrounds and interests who tend to be well-educated and actively engaged in community life.
