Triple El, Palo Alto
Residents are known to look after each other, to bring meals when they are sick, pick up their neighbor's newspaper when they are gone and babysit their neighbor's children.
Surrounded by North California Avenue and Oregon Expressway and by Louis and Greer roads, the three neighborhood streets -- Elsinore Drive, Elsinore Court and El Cajon -- appeal to newcomers with their Eichler design, contemporary architecture, "California Modern" home style and Elsinore Drive's beautiful row of 44 Chinese elm trees.
The small-village atmosphere is bolstered by the residents' willingness to celebrate events during the year. Most neighbors show up at the New Year's Day Mummers Parade, a Memorial Day's barbecue and a fall ice cream social.
Today, it is common to see Elsinore Drive filled with groups of children walking, biking or skateboarding to their school.
In addition to its architecture and friendly atmosphere, Triple El is what the residents called "going green." Some people have been worried about the lack of water in the area.
