Well really Menlo Park is a pretty "typical" suburban area... it has a lot of trees and homes without fences... it has areas that are nicer than others and a bit more expensive... some large homes some smaller... mainly white people...normal homes in the "less expensive" areas start about 700 I'd say (maybe more...) and that's a small house... and the nicer homes are about a million. it's actually kinda the "middle" of the road compared to the surrounding cities... although none of the cities in the area are really hurting for money.....Atherton (right next door) is a LOT more exclusive and expensive... Atherton doesn't even have any businesses when you drive through it's all really big huge gates and long driveways.... Redwood City (on the other side of Atherton) is a bit less expensive (but also a bigger city) If your friends moved to Menlo Park, they're doing pretty well.. even if it's not one of the more pricey areas of the city. Allied Arts area is a very pretty area I had a lot of friends who lived in that neighborhood and we used to go play by the creek... I also like Sharon Heights...
