Silicon Valley Growing Fast

Posted in Palo Alto

November 9th, 2010 by Altaire Townhomes

According to statistics presented at a recent real estate conference sponsored by Collier International, the economic health of the region is improving. Silicon Valley is experiencing strong economic recovery that should continue in the next several years, bolstered by employment growth at social-media companies and regional corporate powerhouses, such as Intel.

The South Bay is in the top tier of regions leading in the percentage change of its jobs base, faster than the metropolitan areas of Phoenix, New York, Miami, Seattle and a slew of other cities.

According to a recent article in The Registry, The Bay Are Real Estate Journal -

‘Silicon Valley, which created nearly 10,000 jobs in the first three quarters, adding 1.1 percent to its employment base, is the strongest geography in Northern California and one of the strongest in the nation, said Ken Rosen, chairman of Berkeley-based Rosen Consulting Group and Rosen Real Estate Securities.’

Palo Alto is a great place to live. We have it all – wonderful people, beautiful weather and a strong vocational infrastructure which brings the best and brightest to our region. Just another reason that Altaire loves to call Palo Alto home.

Local Palo Alto – Fraiche Yogurt

Posted in Palo Alto

November 3rd, 2010 by Altaire Townhomes

With Halloween and all its treats behind us, and the holiday season fast approaching, you may feel a bit overwhelmed with the amount of food you will be consuming in the months to come. Wouldn’t it be great to find a food that tastes great and is healthy as well? Sounds too good to be true? It does exist and right here in our local community. Enter Palo Alto’s own Fraiche Yogurt, makers of homemade organic fresh and frozen yogurt that is sinfully delicious and outrageously healthy.

A little bit about Fraiche Yogurt from their website:

Fraiche is a homemade, organic fresh yogurt and frozen yogurt café. All of our European-style yogurts are made from scratch, in-house using local Clover organic milk and a special probiotic-focused culture. Our fresh yogurts are the basis for our frozen yogurt. So, whether you feel like fresh or frozen yogurt, you’ll still enjoy the same health benefits.

The YELP reviews are in and it seems that Fraiche is a local Palo Alto crowd-pleaser.

I am a froyo freak! I lovvve lovvee frozen yogurt and have tried many many manyyyyy a places….BUT this one tops them all! Besides the fact that they have fresh yogurt and steal cut oatmeal with amazing fresh and healthy toppings, the frozen yogurt is to DIE for. I am not gonna lie, I have become quite a regular here, especially because I can come here for a lunch time snack, or for breakfast, or for a late night treat since they are open late! I love the soy and pomegranate flavors and I love the home made mochi! Also, their seasonal options (peaches & apple crisps) are to die for! – Iris B.

I love love love frozen yogurt…add the fact that Fraiche is organic and made in-house, makes it that much better. Sure I’ll partake in just about any froyo establishment, but if I’m nearby Fraiche and the craving kicks in there is no where else I would rather go. Amazing yogurt + simple yet yummy toppings = perfection. - Aida V.

Fraiche Yogurt has local shops at 644 Emerson, Palo Alto and on the Stanford Campus. They also just opened a storefront in San Francisco.

Palo Alto has so much to offer locally. At Altaire, we are truly proud to call this great community “home”.

Palo Alto Art Center Fall 2010 Exhibits

Posted in Palo Alto

October 18th, 2010 by admin

For Fall 2010, the Palo Alto Art Center will be displaying three exciting exhibits, running from Sept. 25 through Dec. 12, 2010, for all to enjoy.

So what can you expect to see? Their website gives an excellent summary of the three compelling exhibits :

In Focus: Collecting Photography showcases the unique character of, and stories behind, four diverse photography collections formed by art professionals who live in the Bay Area. Light from the Underground is a photographic essay by Colette Campbell-Jones based on communal memories collected from miners and families in South Wales. Paintings from Haiti presents selections from the collection of Dr. Ralph S. Greco. Many of the paintings make palpable the invisible powers of belief that have sustained a culture through centuries of adversity.

As covered in an earlier post, the Art Center is scheduled to undergo a significant remodel and renovation. In order to facilitate this transformation, the Palo Alto Art Center Foundation is kicking off a community-wide “Where Art Transforms” capital campaign to raise the funds necessary to renovate the Art Center. This project recently received two generous gifts from Ann Bowers and the Packard Foundation and is very close to its funding requirements .

To learn more about the campaign and how you can help, click here or watch their video below.

Altaire loves all that Palo Alto has to offer and we are very excited to see the proposed renovations to the Palo Alto Art Center become a reality.

Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival

Posted in Events

October 15th, 2010 by admin

When you think of Fall what comes to mind? Cooler weather, the leaves changing color and pumpkins…..lots of pumpkins.

For those of you who would like to celebrate the Fall season in style, look no further than the quaint coastal community of Half Moon Bay. The 40th Annual Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival takes place this weekend, October 16 & 17 from 9am – 5pm.

The festival has become quite an event, with a loyal following. Here is a little background (from the official festival site) describing how the small coastal community became synonymous with pumpkins in all shapes and sizes.

The pumpkin boom can be traced back to growers in the area who began to plant pumpkins in the 1930′s. In the early 30’s, teenager John Arata and his brother Clarence began planting pumpkin seeds to feed the family’s hogs. One day, they were hauling some of their pumpkins along Highway One back to the farm when a passing motorist stopped and asked if he could buy a few. The Arata’s sold the pumpkins for a quarter and a booming pumpkin-picking business and tourist attraction was born.

And the tradition continues on today as more than 3,000 tons of pumpkins are grown each year by 15 or so commercial growers in the Half Moon Bay area. They ship pumpkins all over the United States and sell to many of the large retailers in the Bay Area.
Although the focus is on pumpkins, there is something for everyone at the festival…..parades, costume contests, family activities and great food and drink await you as well.

One more reason Altaire loves life on the peninsula. Have fun!
