Living in Stanford (University Campus Residences)

Stanford isn’t just a university — it’s also home to a unique residential community for faculty, staff, and affiliates.

Neighborhood Overview

The Stanford campus includes on-campus housing for faculty and graduate students, plus residential enclaves like Escondido Village. Homes are leasehold properties (buyers don’t own the land; Stanford retains ownership). Despite this, Stanford residences are some of the most coveted due to their proximity to campus, labs, and Downtown Palo Alto.
