If the Stanford shopping centers vision was lifeless store fronts and no one actually shopping then…read morethey achieved it. Owners please take a look around, no one is shopping. An entire year here and I literally see no one buying anything in any of the stores, regardless of the season. It feels very pretentious. Each store, each window has the same exact thing - no color, no life. Each store equally more expensive than the next. I have come to learn that the building owners sought a "vision" and pushed out previous stores here to have what it does now. Each store front pushes mute colors, I walk into a store $600 for the most boring top I have ever seen, and this carries on through each and every store here. Not to mention, a lot of the stores push concerning stereotypes and visions of women's bodies. There's a select few stores I love here, Outerknown (you are awesome) and Aesop, are what keeps me coming back - other than that, it's a sad shopping experience and I actually really enjoy shopping at a lot of malls. Sad, uninspiring. This mall is now pushing sad and concerning shopping and fashion culture. This is unrealistic, false expectation setting. It is deplorable.

Took advantage of free 18-hole mini golf being offered at the Park this past Saturday, courtesy of MV Chamber of Commerce. They had limited golf clubs, especially adult sized, and the holes were very basic, with cartoonish props not even attached to the greens. Needless to say, I moved some of them around to make it more challenging and creative. Got at least a few hole-in-ones (I better, with how easy these were). Not the most exciting activity on a sunny afternoon, but it was good for some amusement, with a DJ playing a combination of hip hop, rock, and country music through the speakers. Afterward, I did some grocery shopping at the Safeway in the plaza, which was well stocked with all my favorite goods. I also recently enjoyed a flick at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, a newer theater featuring dine-in service at your seat during films. The Village offers a decent range of eateries and businesses, a dog park and sculpture garden with various artworks, as well as tables & seating adding to an inviting atmosphere. Plus, porta potties on site for convenience. And parking wasn't problematic for me this past weekend, which I appreciated (I hate crowded lots where there is nonmoving traffic and people fighting for parking spots).

Relatively new three years old shopping center, The Village at San Antonio, grew up in place of the…read moreold single story ranch style shopping plaza that used to contain department stores like Sears, Ross, and some smaller businesses. The area was completely redeveloped with contemporary multi story Carmel The Village apartments, and The Village shopping center. It is anchored by a modern Safeway, and sports a variety of restaurants and cafes. Among notable businesses, The Counter burgers, SAJJ falafel place, Nekter Juice Bar, Fidelity Investments, a mattress store, Jared jewelry store, and across the parking lot, Starbucks, Veggie Grill, The Pizza Studio, Paul Martin American Grill. I actively dislike the parking citation here, on the Safeway parking lot. It seems to have been poorly designed, packed with enough parking spaces to satisfy the building code requirements, and to sustain the entire development. The resulting layout is difficult to maneuver, or get in and out of a slot, when you find one. The internal roads are not wide enough, and entrances/exits are awkward. It's a hassle and for this reason I'm rating it with three stars.

They do have a large variety of stores and food options here, but I really don't like them charging to park. You're already putting money into this place, do they really need to add even more to what is already likely an expensive trip...You only get one hour of free parking, then it's $2/hr with a cap of $15. They do have a designated food pick-up parking area though. It's a large mall with plenty of shopping/dining options.

There are so many stores to shop at, plenty of places to eat, grab a drink, and lots of kiosks and unique stores to check out. It's a great mall if you're looking to spend a few hours shopping or just walking around. My only real complaint is that the bathrooms could definitely be cleaner. Everything else was nice, but cleaner restrooms would make the experience even better. Overall, I'd still come back and recommend it if you're looking for a mall with lots of shopping and dining options.

We bank here, get our clothes dry-cleaned, get our hair cut, buy our bagels and bubble tea, fill our prescriptions, get our documents notarized, and take care of our teeth here. The kids took karate here too. We used to go to the post office here before USPS shut it down, and we don't use the pet services but we do like to say hello to the kitties for adoption at the vet. The restaurants are fine but they don't appeal much to us as vegetarians. The Safeway grocery store is generally OK as Safeways go, but we hate going to all mass-market groceries and prefer Trader Joe's instead. Most of the places aren't bargain-priced, but we think prices are fair given the convenience. Parking is almost never a problem, though the center is usually mobbed by kids from Saint Francis High before and after school. I deducted one star for the center's lack of distinctiveness. If you don't live close by, there really is no reason for you to go out of your way to shop here--none of the retailers offer anything you can't find in your local neighborhood. Despite that, I think the landlord has done a great job of assembling a good mix of retailers that respond to the local community's needs. It's a terrific local resource, and we're glad it's so close.
