Los Gatos sits at the base of the Santa Cruz Mountains, about 11 square miles split into Downtown/Central, East, West, and North sections. Its historic downtown, with buildings dating back over a century, still anchors daily life in a town that has otherwise grown alongside Silicon Valley.
Los Gatos pairs a walkable, historic downtown with easy access to the mountains and the valley's job centers. Housing ranges from Craftsman and Victorian homes in the historic core to newer hillside estates, so buyers can choose between old-town character and more space.
Downtown Los Gatos is known for its restaurant and boutique scene. The Junction, a newer development downtown, brought in Mentone and Manresa Bread from chef David Kinch, formerly of the Michelin-starred Manresa. North Santa Cruz Avenue and University Avenue round out the shopping strip.
Vasona Lake County Park has trails, picnic areas, and a small amusement park (Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad). Oak Meadow Park sits next door, and the Los Gatos Creek Trail runs through town for walking and biking.
