The development is in the upper right hand corner of MENLO PARK SCHOOL DISTRICT 89, as evidenced by the linked map provided by the school district at http://www.mpcsd.org/images/boundaries08.jpg

These builder’s promotional materials state that hese homes have been zoned in the MENLO PARK SCHOOL DISTRICT and are NOT in the ravenswood school district.

Icestone? That’s a new one on me. I looked it up and it seems like an interesting and viable choice. I am thinking about redoing my kitchen, so I will investigate further.

These homes make a significant step in the right direction as they offer lots of green components.

A couple of sore spots stick out-last time we checked granite slab counters and redwood fencing weren’t exactly on the sustainable/renewable resource list. Why not use Icestone or the equivalent for the counters and the there can be other fence wood that could be used.

Buyers should note that these are in Ravenswood school district, not Menlo Park city elementary.
