Blog > East Palo Alto Neighborhoods Ranked by Price per Square Foot (2026)
East Palo Alto has 6 neighborhood guides on our site. To see how they compare on price, we took the 40 East Palo Alto houses, condos and townhomes that sold in the 180 days to October 27, 2026; all 40 had a map position and a living area, so we placed them on the map and found the median price per square foot inside each guide’s outline. 33 of those sales landed inside at least one guide. Across the city, the median was $814 per square foot for all homes and $851 for houses.
The short answer
- Highest median price per square foot (guides with at least 5 sales): Kavanaugh & Newbridge ($941, 8 sales), Palo Alto Park ($932, 9 sales) and The Gardens ($851, 7 sales).
- Lowest: Four Corners, Weeks & Runnymede ($672, 5 sales).
- 4 of the 6 guides had 5 or more sales in the window, enough to rank here; the rest are listed below with their counts.
- Top to bottom, the highest-ranked guide sold for 1.4 times as much per square foot as the lowest-ranked one.

Reading it right
- A ranking summarizes recent sales; it isn’t a verdict on a neighborhood. Price per square foot moves with home size, age, lot, condition and the mix of homes that happened to sell, and a higher number says nothing about which neighborhood is right for you.
- Each sale counts once. No sale here falls inside two of our guide outlines.
- Small samples swing. Each row shows its sale count; a guide with 6 sales can move a lot when one more home closes.
- Bigger homes often sell for less per foot, so compare guides with similar homes.
