A property with this much flexibility opens the door to so many possibilities, and we’re thrilled to have helped our sellers officially close this chapter.

From the spacious corner lot and multiple living areas to the opportunity to personalize and reimagine the spaces over time, this home offered something increasingly valuable: room to evolve alongside its next owners.

Congratulations to our sellers on a successful sale and to the new owners who now get to make it their own! 🏡

Cava just chose Santana Row in San Jose for its first Bay Area location, its first foothold in Northern California at all.

If you've spent time on the East Coast or in SoCal, you already know why people are excited. For those of us on the Peninsula, it's one more sign of how much attention Silicon Valley is getting from national brands right now.

A trendy Mediterranean fast-casual restaurant chain has announced it’s coming to the Bay Area, with three new locations planned.

Ask Dana 💬 How much do schools affect resale value?

Here’s my take: Homes near highly regarded schools often benefit from stronger buyer demand and long-term value. Even buyers without children frequently consider school districts when purchasing.

I recently put together a guide to Menlo Park City School District (MPCSD) and Las Lomitas, with a closer look at district boundaries, neighborhoods, and home values. Read the full guide at https://danacarmelgroup.com/blog/menlo-park-school-districts-explained-mpcsd-vs-las-lomitas-2026-guide
