LOS ALTOS

An ideal mix of urban energy and tranquil sophistication.

Welcome to Los Altos

Picturesque charm in this lovely Santa Clara County enclave.
 
Situated approximately an hour south of San Francisco in the heart of Silicon Valley, the city of Los Altos is an ideal mix of urban energy and tranquil sophistication. Lush and impeccably manicured, the largely residential hamlet features some of the most astounding estates.
 
Exclusive and affluent, “The Heights,” as it is roughly translated, is as remarkable for its abiding sense of serenity as its sweeping views of natural splendors. High-ranking schools and a scenic retail district, complete with Chinese Pistache trees, round out its allure and amplifies why it’s one of the most coveted places to live in Northern California.
 

What to Love

  • Proximity to San Francisco
  • An hour’s drive to Santa Cruz and its rugged beaches
  • An abundance of immaculate parks and trails
  • A bounty of breathtaking estates crafted by notable architects
  • A lovely district flourishing with boutiques, eateries, and galleries
 

Local Lifestyle

Given Los Altos’ prime location in the center of Silicon Valley, it serves as an oasis for those who work in the technology industry, with Google, Apple, Adobe, and more nearby. Deliberately small — the bedroom community has strict ordinances on commercial growth — Los Altos has a warm, welcoming vibe that adds to its reputation as one of the leading locations in Northern California to raise a family.
 

Dining, Shopping & Entertainment

 
Los Altos offers a sublime combination of casual, delectable cafes and upscale, sumptuous restaurants.
 
At Woodland Plaza, Los Altos residents have access to quaint shops, an excellent deli, and two markets featuring an array of gourmet eats and organic produce. Rancho Shopping Center crystallizes Los Altos’ alluring, small-town vibe. This is the sort of plaza where the proprietors know their patrons by name. From a cobbler to a bakery, this gathering place for the community is both vibrant and practical.
 

Things to Do

Los Altos’ temperate climate and its profusion of untouched land render it a top spot for hiking, biking, and running, while its proximity to downtown San Francisco grants residents access to all of the performances, professional games, and world-class shopping.
 
Redwood Grove Nature Preserve unfolds on more than six acres, featuring the ancient trees that made Northern California famous. It is the ideal place for a leisurely stroll along the boardwalk of Adobe Creek.
 
Shoup Park is beloved by locals for its verdant trails and ample picnic spots.
 
Woodland Branch Library frequently features activities for children and community events. Linden Tree Children’s Books is equally delightful. Here, you will discover a vast assortment of colorful tales and an always-inviting ambiance.
