14 flood Cir
14 Flood Circle sits in Atherton, a town defined by generous lots, canopy roads, and a residential quiet rare on the Peninsula. The property lies within walking distance of Flood Park, Menlo-Atherton High School, and a corridor of schools that draw families from across San Mateo County. Atherton maintains no commercial core by design, preserving a layout of estates, preserved oaks, and low-density streets that has remained largely unchanged for decades. The address places residents nine minutes by car from Stanford University and roughly half an hour from both San Francisco International Airport and Downtown San Jose, positioning the home at the center of the region's academic and economic gravity.
Atherton is a car-dependent enclave with a Walk Score of 12, built for privacy rather than foot traffic. Daily errands route through nearby Menlo Park—Delucchi's Market, Cafe Borrone, and a small cluster of cafes and grocers line Santa Cruz Avenue and Middlefield Road, each less than a ten-minute drive. Flood Park and Kelly Park anchor the western edge of town, offering trails, playgrounds, and open space without the crowds of larger regional parks. The drive to Downtown San Francisco takes 43 minutes in typical conditions; Stanford University is 9 minutes away. This is a town structured around schools, tree-lined roads, and the assumption that most movement happens by car.
- Encinal Elementary (GreatSchools rating: 9/10) and Laurel Elementary (10/10) are both within half a mile; Menlo-Atherton High School (8/10) is 0.6 miles from the property.
- Atherton enforces strict zoning: no sidewalks, no streetlights, and a one-acre minimum lot size in most zones, preserving the town's low-density, estate-scaled character.
- Commute times to Stanford (9 minutes), SFO (27 minutes), and Downtown San Jose (28 minutes) reflect Atherton's position at the center of the Peninsula, equidistant from the region's three largest employment hubs.
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.
I’m a longtime Peninsula resident, a mom of two boys and 2 dogs. I’ve called Menlo Park and Palo Alto home for over 30 years, which means I’ve seen the neighborhoods evolve, the schools grow, and the market do just about everything imaginable. Being deeply rooted here isn’t just a talking point. it’s how I help my clients make more confident and informed decisions about where and how they live.
Before real estate, I spent 20 years in the high-tech world working in market analysis, marketing, and advertising for biomedical and semiconductor companies. That experience and discipline shaped how I approach real estate today: data-driven, strategic, and always focused on positioning. Whether it’s pricing a home, market analytics, marketing plan, or structuring an offer, I bring a level of analysis and clarity that helps clients. I’ve now spent the past 12 years in real estate, guiding buyers and sellers through everything from first time home buyers, investments or luxury properties, I genuinely love the process and the people I help.
Outside of work, I stay closely connected to the community through years of involvement in local school PTAs and support for organizations like Second Harvest Food Bank and Meals on Wheels. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll likely find me hiking, working out, reading, or walking the dogs through some of my favorite local spots, like the farmers market, or Colette and Vida. Real estate is a big part of my life, but it’s grounded in something bigger: helping people feel at home!
