Los Gatos is an affluent town at the base of the Santa Cruz Mountains, blending a historic downtown along Santa Cruz Avenue, Netflix's corporate presence, and easy Highway 17 access to both Silicon Valley and the coast. Its economy is anchored by tech wealth and upscale retail, and the housing stock ranges from restored Victorians and craftsman homes in the Almond Grove historic district to hillside properties in Belgatos and Glenridge and estate homes tucked into the wooded slopes. Investors chase the premium these buyers pay for character and location, working the gap between dated original homes and finished luxury product in one of the valley's most desirable towns.
