Palo Alto was built in waves, and the streets still show it. Some of the oldest houses are in Professorville, Crescent Park and Old Palo Alto. Midtown and the south end filled in after the war, with Eichler tracts like Greenmeadow and Fairmeadow.

A 1920s house and a 1955 Eichler can need different parts. The jobs come from one short list: springs, cables, rollers, openers, and a new door when the old one's worn out. Every street gets the same prices.
