Evergreen Park was marketed in 1907 as part of the old town of Mayfield and mostly built out in the 1920s, with single family homes in many sizes and styles alongside apartments, between El Camino Real, Oregon Expressway, the Caltrain tracks and Page Mill Road.
Peers Park, with the city's largest off leash dog area, and the California Avenue shops, farmers market and Caltrain stop are steps away. It is one of the most walkable parts of Palo Alto.

Blocks here mix early cottages and bungalows, 1920s Spanish and Craftsman homes, mid century apartments and recent rebuilds. Lots tend to be modest and prices run below Old Palo Alto next door, which, with the California Avenue location, makes Evergreen Park a favorite for buyers who want to walk to the train, coffee and the Sunday farmers market.
