"Understated and elegant."
Gotta love real estate brokers.

That is a lot of money per square foot. But is it really the highest? Seems like there are even higher sales. Didn't a house on East Creek go for $1,680+ per square foot?

At $1,630 a square foot, my college apartment would have retailed at $1.1 million.
Good thing my landlord never saw this article...

I don't care how nice a home is; that amount of money per sf is completely insane.

Funny how property owners cheer and celebrate these benchmarks ... while complaining about the lack of affordable housing.

These prices represent a lot of demand chasing too few opportunities to buy.
As a homeowner and parent, I do not rejoice these absurd prices. We cannot spend the equity in our house until we leave our home community, which we do not want to do. Our children may never be able to afford to live in their hometown; only the most wealthy could.
What kind of community will Menlo Park become if there is little economic diversity?

Sure sign of a peak. Not a supportable level. Really just point in time with a particular buyer needing to buy and having the disposable $. Probably a one off thing but not a good sign otherwise. Boasting about this outcome is good for sellers but not potential buyers.
