872 Waverley Street sits within one of Palo Alto's established residential corridors, a short walk from both Stanford University and the downtown core. The address places residents within the Palo Alto High School attendance area and a third of a mile from Addison Elementary, both of which carry strong GreatSchools ratings. Tree-lined streets and sidewalks define the immediate setting, and the Walk Score of 90 reflects the pedestrian character of the surrounding blocks. The property enjoys proximity to Johnson Park and Peers Park, as well as a concentration of cafes and grocers within a ten-minute walk.
This stretch of Palo Alto delivers quiet residential rhythm alongside serious walkability. Downtown Palo Alto is four minutes by car or six by transit; Stanford's campus is four minutes away. Coupa Cafe, Peet's, and Philz anchor the local coffee circuit, while Trader Joe's and Whole Foods handle daily provisioning. Tamarine, Nola, and Reposado offer dinner within a short radius. The Walk Score designation—Walker's Paradise—holds true: errands, meals, and greenspace are accessible on foot. San Francisco International Airport is twenty-six minutes by car, and the rhythm of University Avenue carries through the surrounding blocks without overwhelming the residential fabric.
Walk Score® rates an address from 0–100 by how easily everyday errands — groceries, coffee, dining, school pickup — can be done on foot. 50+ means some errands can be walked, 70+ means most can, and 90+ is a rare walker's paradise. Transit and Bike scores read the same way for public transportation and cycling.
Ratings are GreatSchools Summary Ratings on a 1–10 scale, based on test scores, student progress, and college readiness — 8–10 is above average, 5–7 average, 1–4 below average. Schools shown are the closest rated options within five miles. Attendance boundaries change; always verify enrollment eligibility directly with the school district.
Lucas Lee, a Bay Area native who was born in San Francisco, has lived here his entire life. He grew up in Belmont CA, and him being here throughout his entire life has given him an in-depth understanding of the competitive Bay Area real estate market. Because he’s so familiar with the Bay Area, he brings a lot of value to the table with insight on neighborhoods, nearby amenities, school districts, and how a community operates. This background and knowledge allows clients to make informed decisions that will put them in a great position when buying or selling a home.
A factor that sets Lucas apart from every other Real Estate agent is that he got his degree in Real Estate from the University of Washington. The in-depth knowledge sets him apart and shows his passion, commitment, and difference in the field. Through his studies, he was able to build a strong foundation in property valuation, market analysis and dynamics, negotiation, and knowledge about all real estate transactions. The real estate profession didn’t begin through college though; his Auntie has been a lifelong real estate agent, and being able to see what goes on behind the scenes inspired him to become a professional himself.
In Lucas’ free time, you can see him at the Bay Club lifting weights and playing basketball. He brings the same energy to his clients as he does through hobbies; he brings a competitive edge and results driven approach. He also loves trying new restaurants and desserts with his partner!
