Los
Gatos, California is a unique and
highly desirable place to live. It is where mother nature meets
the mother of modern wealth, the silicon chip. Situated at the base
of the Santa
Cruz mountains it has long been referred to as the
" gem of the foothills." It is a small
town and a wonderful respite from the pressures of a high tech working
environment. Los Gatos is rural/suburban living,
and just a few short minutes from world renowned silicon
valley.
    It is a quaint and quiet life strategically positioned to really get
the best of all worlds. When in Los Gatos you know
that you are in a small town. You can smell country living in the
air. Its population is a mere 28,000. But because of the high level
of sophistication and education of its people, you know that this
isn't just any small town. San
Jose is just a 14 minute drive, and San
Francisco is about 50 minutes by car.
Many of its
population work in the high tech industries that make up the "Silicon
Valley." As a result of being the 'bedroom community'
for the Silicon Valley, a variety of economic and career opportunities

a median priced home of $875,000, which is the case in Los
Gatos. The average home price in Los Gatos
is actually over $1 million. These are just some of the things that
