This area is known as Old Palo Alto. Steve Job's house is a couple blocks down the street at the corner of Waverley/Santa Rita.
"Old Palo Alto" by Anna Medina / Palo Alto Weekly Over the years, the Old Palo Alto neighborhood has garnered a reputation for housing some of the wealthiest, most influential residents in town. It's not, for example, uncommon to see tourists stop by the late Steve Jobs' home, and the neighborhood is peppered with ongoing construction sites, where modern mansions are replacing older homes. The face of Old Palo Alto is rapidly changing, but a stroll through the quiet, tree-lined neighborhood with its shaded sidewalks and fragrant gardens, can offer a glimpse of-- or even a feel for-- Old Palo Alto's past, and an understanding of why it is and has long been such a coveted spot in town.
