Nestled at the base of the Santa Cruz Mountains, the town is surrounded by rolling hills, redwood forests, and picturesque views, creating a peaceful retreat that still provides an easy commute to major tech employers in nearby Cupertino, Mountain View, Palo Alto, and San Jose.
Residents love Los Gatos for its award-winning schools, tree-lined streets, and walkable, storybook downtown filled with upscale boutiques, cafés, wineries, and renowned restaurants. The town is famous for its historic architecture, beautifully preserved Victorian homes, and lively year-round events, including Jazz on the Plazz, holiday parades, and the Los Gatos Art & Wine Festival. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy quick access to the Los Gatos Creek Trail, Vasona Lake Park, and numerous hiking and biking routes that make the most of Northern California’s sunny climate.
Los Gatos combines charm, natural beauty, and sophistication in a way few communities can match. Its strong sense of community, top-rated schools, and diverse housing—from cozy cottages to luxury estates—make it a highly desirable place to live for families, professionals, and those seeking a slower-paced lifestyle without sacrificing convenience. For buyers looking for a picturesque town with exceptional amenities and timeless appeal, Los Gatos is an extraordinary place to call home.

Caroline and her team are amazing. We had a bad experience with a different Realtor Company. Once Caroline and her team came, our home was sold faster than what we expected. I recommend Caroline Hobbs 100%.
Caroline has recently helped me sell a condo in San Jose and buy another condo in Los Gatos. I can’t praise her work and her team’s work enough. She is knowledgeable, assertive yet pleasant. Always on top of things, always doing her best for her client.
Caroline has been everything we could hope for in a realtor. She has a deep understanding of the area and the housing market, and expertise in all the finer details that a prospective buyer may not consider or are generally uneducated on. She’s communicative, prompt and rigorously thorough and we always felt confident that she was looking out for our best interests. Her network of exceptional industry professionals is vast, and saved us time, money and sanity. We found Caroline by luck to buy our new home and didn’t think twice about working with her again to sell our current home. We would happily recommend her to anyone.
