They are all the shops, restaurants, resources, and amenities available for individuals to truly live a lavish lifestyle in this upper scale community on the outskirts of San Francisco.

The best areas in Stanford are around the Stanford Golf Course where there is a very high-class neighborhood with friendly people and culture that is very diverse and intellectual. The school systems in Stanford are excellent and provide my kids with exceptional education and resources to stimulate their growth and intellectual understanding.
