Description:
Los Gatos is located in the South Bay part of the San Francisco Bay Area, near San Jose. The town can be found just off Highway 17 (known as "the hill" to locals) as the highway begins to climb into the Santa Cruz mountains. Homes are mostly upscale, varying from million-dollar cottages in the village itself to large custom homes in the surrounding hills. The town is noted for its upscale but small-town downtown, with many chic shops and restaurants. It is also a preferred destination for antique shoppers.
