Townhouse

Two-story living, 2 BR, large private patio - $3,700

We rarely have a townhouse available, but one is open as of 5/15/25 - reach out to be on a waitlist

Townhouses are two-stories with 2 bedrooms and bath upstairs. A large living room and dining area are open plan — with views of a private, enclosed patio on the ground floor. Dine outdoors, read, or cultivate a garden. These are our largest units at 920 square feet of interior space. The patio adds a large area of additional living space. Galley kitchens, gas stove and heat. Skylights in most units.

Located near the borders of Palo Alto and Los Altos, this quiet residential neighborhood is a sanctuary from the bustle of Silicon Valley, while still being ideally located for short commutes. About half the residents practice meditation and yoga principles. Neighbors tend to be respectful of others. It’s an unusual feeling of peacefulness here.

Truth-in-advertising:

We are a beautiful, older apartment complex, built in the 1960s and lovingly maintained.
Our units may not be as large as other apartments, but we have generous deck and patio spaces that allow you extended living space into the outdoors.
We don’t have some of the newer amenities you can find elsewhere (A/C, dishwashers, EV, etc).
Even though there is no installed A/C, we have many shade trees to help with heat. Still, if you are on the 2nd floor and it’s hot outside, you will notice. Some tenants have purchased portable A/C which work beautifully, and are MUCH quieter than traditional A/C.
We have simple galley kitchens. A few are upgraded, but most are old-style. Fixtures and fridges are updated. Countertops are linoleum.
No pets allowed except for cats (with insurance to cover damage).
No smoking anywhere on the property.
We do have children here and a lovely pool. This means noise during the summer pool season. If you live near the pool or on the main courtyard, you will hear them. There are some quiet periods, too, for lap swimming. If you don’t love the sounds of happy children at pools, let us know, and we'll let you know which apartments hear no pool noise. We have a bunch!
Our 1 bedrooms and studios are in Buildings 2 and 5, which run parallel to the Caltrain line. Happily, trains are all-electric now, and the noise impact is fairly minimal.
We are also near Central/Alma, but the traffic is a fairly quiet swoosh, and not heard on the living room side at all.
The whole neighborhood, including Caltrain and Central, becomes virtually silent at night. It’s a surprisingly great place to sleep soundly.
Because our buildings are older, noise can bleed through between apartment walls. Most of our residents are exceptionally quiet and considerate, and usually, noise issues are quickly resolved among neighbors and by management. That's unusual in other apartments.
Our outdoor and communal spaces are shared with Ananda Church, which holds the Master Lease to this Apartment complex and property. (This is why many folks here are meditators; they are active with Ananda). Ananda periodically hosts events and group gatherings in the courtyard, such as a July 4th picnic and games, chanting, graduation events for Ananda schools, banquets, or weddings. These events are usually open to everyone. There are occasionally other Ananda Church activities taking place in the community courtyard such as music, play rehearsals, or athletics. These activities can sometimes be a little noisy. But they are relatively infrequent. Again, if you are concerned about noise, there are many units that are not on the main courtyard. Just inquire.
