MenloClose at a Glance

MenloClose at a Glance

Purpose driven identity

MenloClose knows that our strength lies not only in the words we stand by, but most importantly through the actions of our initiative. Back in 2020, a few of our residents realized that by working together we could overcome our challenges much more efficiently, and that is why we ultimately decided to launch the MenloClose initative.​

Crime in Menlo Park has, in recent months, reached unaccepted levels. Most suburbs surrounding Menlo Park have been closed off or are in the process of closing, and crime is subsequently spilling over into our area. On average, property values of adjacent closed off areas have increased between 15-20%, while the property values of Menlo Park have decreased.

The solution to this is to create a safe neighbourhood by implementing monitored access control in Menlo Park. It has been proven that the crime rate reduces in areas with monitored access using smart technology and visible security patrolling. It is also proven that residents in safer areas enjoy an improved quality of life, and property values increase as desirability and demand increase.
