Palo Alto prides itself on being a highly walkable community and its charming streets and leafy boulevards offer pedestrians a treat. In a place where the median household income is more than twice the national figure, you’d expect some great shopping. You would be right. Stanford Shopping Center—home to Tiffany’s and Bloomingdales--is a big draw; more than one-quarter of its visitors are from foreign countries, here for business or pleasure. Downtown Palo Alto is a mecca for those looking for the boutique-and-gallery experience and is within easy walking distance of the Stanford campus. Another hot spot for shopping is California Avenue, where the tone is set by the funky public art lining the street. Town and Country Village and the Midtown area are favorites of local residents.
