Reading it right
- Station areas overlap. Palo Alto, Stanford and California Avenue, or Hillsdale and Hayward Park, share many of the same houses.
- A mile is a long walk. Within half a mile is closer to a walk to the train; bikes and shuttles stretch it.
- Stanford station runs only for special events, such as Stanford football games; the Palo Alto and California Avenue stations serve the same houses every day.
- Many homes near the tracks are condos and townhomes, which aren’t in these figures; the live map shows them.
How we counted
Closed sales of houses (MLS property type “single family home”) between October 28, 2024 and October 27, 2026 in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties, reported to the MLS and read through the IDX feeds that power our home search, with repeat records from different feeds removed (normalized address plus sale date), measured straight-line from each sale’s map position to each station. Condos and townhomes aren’t in these figures because the sold feed doesn’t give their map positions. Past sales aren’t a forecast or the value of any one home.
