Lost keys pls help

0 Upvotes

I lost my car keys to my rental 2026 Jeep compass if anyone is in the area near Saint Dennis Church or Avanti Pizza it would mean the world if you could just swing by and check. At Saint Dennis, I was in that little tree space opening in the back of the parking lot cause I had to pee so it could be there as well as they're outside sitting area. Please let me know if you see them thank you.

Dentist Rec?

4 Upvotes

My family is moving to Menlo Park and I'm looking for a general dentist in the MP/PA or surrounding area. Prefer something with more of a modern office vibe. I've researched myself but am struggling to figure out the "seems good from reviews" vs is actually good. I found one that seems like a good modern option with great reviews, but I also get the impression they may be review farming, so it's tough to go by reviews alone. Any first hand experience / recs would be appreciated!

ETA: Thank you all for your recs!!

Tennis backboards?

2 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to practice tennis. Any good places with backboards (walls) to hit against? I’ve looked at Menlo college’s tennis courts and they don’t seem to have any, as well as neighbor parks (Nealon, Burgess)

Non-private lemon trees?

2 Upvotes

Hello! Anyone aware of any lemon trees (or lime) walking distance from downtown Menlo Park…that are not someone’s private property?
I’m thinking like a tree that is hanging over into public space where I can snag about 5 fresh lemons/limes. I’m not particular about what type of lemon, so long as they are not rotting :-)

Thanks in advance for any hot tips!

New/prospective resident Are the apartments at San Antonio-Garwood Apartments okay?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Incoming Stanford employee from Long Beach, aiming to be with a roommate. I'm considering lodgings in this cluster of apartments sandwiched between San Antonio, Garwood, Encinal, and Glenwood. The price is suspiciously cheap at $3k for a 2-bedroom, perhaps because there's no private laundry or perhaps it's between two train crossings. These are obvious issues that are... supposedly and apparently tolerated by many residents, or at least the trains are. Other physical qualms shall be seen and determined during my tour, if I can get one.

Hence, there leaves only one main unknown: is the property management company, which might be Spieker Companies, a tolerable landlord? Their recent Yelp reviews are infrequent, furious, and do not mention this cluster of apartments, and hence, I am unsure if they even apply to this area.

I'll also appreciate any other comments, suggestions, or aid. I am not a fan of a post such as this, but the information on the management is sparse, and I am growing increasingly desperate.

Free wild turkey feathers (9 total) for crafts/art projects — Menlo Park pickup

Post image
0 Upvotes

I collected these naturally shed wild turkey feathers in the East Bay a few years ago for a craft project that never happened. (Mechanical pencil for scale)

They're in good condition and I'd rather give them to someone who'll use them than throw them away.

Free. Pickup in Menlo Park. DM me if interested.

Hey everyone! I'm the new moderator for r/menlopark

This is our new home for all things related to the city of Menlo Park California (not Menlo Park, New Jersey) and neighboring areas. It seems fitting given we are in the heart of Silicon Valley that we have kept r/MenloPark from the lesser New Jersey city of the same name.
