Ample beauty and incredible privacy await in this tony Santa Clara County enclave
What happens when you bring together a sophisticated ethos, spectacular natural splendors, and sprawling, secluded estates? The result is Los Altos, a gorgeous city situated in Silicon Valley and deemed one of the most desirable places to live in the San Francisco Bay Area. This verdant bedroom community is widely known for its lovely, tree-lined streets, top-performing schools, and a strong sense of family and community.
A huge part of Los Altos’ charm is its abundant pristine green spaces, from generously-sized public parks to immaculate nature preserves. Add a charming downtown to its list of wonderful traits, and you can understand why it’s coveted by so many throughout California.
Los Altos' prime location near both Mountain View and San Francisco makes it the perfect fit for affluent, successful professionals and their families, who specifically choose the city for its award-winning schools and overall feeling of tranquility.
It holds just as much appeal to people at any stage of life who want to live in one of the sunnier pockets of Northern California and those who count the great outdoors as one of their leading loves in life. You’ll often find your neighbors strolling in Los Altos’ picturesque downtown district or running on its well-kept trails.
Los Altos’ high-end status is reflected in its eateries, which span from ultra-elegant to kick-back and family-oriented. Main Street’s Red Berry Coffee Bar is the place in town to jumpstart your day with an Americano and a scone. Their pleasant outdoor patio is the optimal spot to catch up on email and the news.
There is a slew of options when date night arrives. A perennial favorite is Los Altos Grill, an opulent eatery that specializes in elevated comfort food. Buttermilk fried chicken with Swiss and spicy slaw and classic jumbo shrimp with remoulade are just two winners on their down-home menu.
State Street Market is another classic Los Altos spot, while Chef Chu’s is always abuzz with delighted patrons. For a good reason, too. The Silicon Valley mainstay features a range of delicious, thoroughly-satisfying dishes, such as steamed Chilean sea bass with ginger and green onions, minced crystal prawns with water chestnuts, and authentic char siu bao.
Nature reigns in this posh hamlet, and spending time outdoors tops the list of favorite activities for many Los Altos residents.
In addition to the outdoor adventures Los Altos’ naturally boasts, it also features various events throughout the year. The sunny days of spring and summer are best enjoyed engaging with the range of local vendors at the vibrant Los Altos Farmers’ Market. You’ll be treated to fresh, organic produce and hand-baked goods harvested and created in the vicinity. Residents and visitors from around the Bay also convene at the Arts & Wine Festival every July, a lively event held in downtown Los Altos.
The Kiwanis Los Altos Pet Parade, now in its 76th year, is also a huge hit. Also hosted in downtown Los Altos, this beloved community fete is widely attended by children, adults, and, of course, their pets. And no holiday season is complete without attending the majestic Festival of Lights Parade, which is managed by the impeccable folks at the Los Altos Village Association.
