What to look for
- Ask for the warranty on a new house: what it covers, for how long, and how to file a claim.
- Still get an inspection, even on new construction.
- Check the permits and final sign-off for the build and any ADU.
- Listings name styles loosely, so some of these houses are “inspired by” the style more than pure examples, and many true examples never say the word.
How we counted
Closed sales of houses (MLS property type “single family home”) with a Menlo Park address between October 28, 2024 and October 27, 2026, 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). A house counts for the style when its listing description names it, by the same rules as our Home Styles pages. Price per square foot uses sales with 400 sq ft or more and is compared with the median for all Menlo Park houses. Neighborhoods are our guides’ outlines, placed by each sale’s map position. Past sales aren’t a forecast or the value of any one home.
