Living in Los Gatos
Nestled in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains, the town of Los Gatos lies a short drive from both the Pacific coast and the world-class culture of San Francisco. Many of the town’s 30,000 residents, though, prefer to spend their leisure time locally, and it’s easy to see why. Rare among cities in the Valley, Los Gatos draws people from throughout the Bay Area who come to shop, dine and stroll the pleasant streets of the town’s shopping districts.
Los Gatos is also home to a number of successful high-tech enterprises and welcoming more all the time. Yet, it remains unique among the cities of Silicon Valley for its strong sense of its own character. The community turns out for dozens of annual events, celebrating both small-town intimacy and big-city sophistication. It’s truly a place like no other. Los Gatos enjoys 330 sunny days per year and a Mediterranean climate characterized by mild average temperatures.
Its 11 square miles include oak-dotted hillsides, a creek lined with redwoods and a reservoir. The streets of Los Gatos are lined with well-maintained Victorian, Craftsman, ranch and contemporary homes that are the envy of architecture enthusiasts everywhere.
