I also lived for four years in Santa Monica, not far from Stanford Street. It turns out that, outside of California, there are a number of roadways named Stanford, including 42 Stanford Avenue in Brooklyn (for Elementary fans).
A quick Google search found more streets named Stanford in at least 15 states plus Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom and... Quezon City, Phillipines.
