Los Altos

 

Located just south of Palo Alto and Mountain View, and snug against the foothills of the coastal mountain range, Los Altos is a haven for those seeking a sophisticated suburban/rural ambiance combined with convenient access to the best of Silicon Valley. Its trademark larger lots – typically 10,000 square feet and larger - have resulted in a casual estate feel to many neighborhoods, with the original predominance of ranch-style homes now complimented with Mediterranean, Traditional, Modern, Craftsman and Modern Farmhouse style homes. The downtown also speaks to the warmth and understated elegance of Los Altos with a wealth of locally-owned restaurants, boutiques and specialty stores seamlessly combined with selected national chains. And some of those early orchards are now parks and well-conceived neighborhood shopping centers that enhance the livability and add to the attractiveness and desirability of Los Altos. Public schools for Los Altos are operated by the Los Altos Elementary, Cupertino Union, and Mountain View-Los Altos Union High School districts.
