Introduction
About Los Altos, California

Los Altos, California is a small “bedroom community” centrally located in Silicon Valley and only 40 miles south of San Francisco. Originally an agricultural town, Los Altos maintains the look of its rural ancestry.  Though only seven square miles, the town has its own school system (private and public), a library, several churches and even its own history museum.

With a population around 30,000 - 40,000 residents, Los Altos has several upscale neighborhoods with many residents employed in Silicon Valley. If you’re looking for a quiet peaceful town with beautiful homes that still maintains some of its Western roots, Los Altos California is the right place for you.
