Welcome to Los Gatos Mountain Community
“So beautiful that often I am embarrassed to be living here” - John Steinbeck
The Los Gatos Mountain community is one of the most beautiful and sought-after mountain communities within the state of California. Known for properties offering immediate access to hiking, biking, and running trails, the Los Gatos Mountain Community also offers residents expansive views looking over Silicon Valley or beautiful vistas of the communities’ namesake. The mountain community also provides something that many California communities do not: peace and quiet. Along with that are some of the most sought-after schools in the state, like Loma Prieta Elementary and Los Gatos High School. Surrounded by green spaces and parks, Los Gatos has several locations for recreation during the summer, winter, and spring months. Those commuting daily to Cupertino or surrounding communities in Silicon Valley will find the proximity of the Los Gatos Mountain Community extremely appealing. Especially those that community daily via CA-17 N.
The Los Gatos Mountain community is primarily residential, with beautiful homes often hidden to ensure privacy. However, nothing can compare to the vibrant mountain community experience Los Gatos instills with Mountain Jam, Volunteer Fire and Rescue BBQ, and the always famous Theatre In the Mountains. For those who love outdoor activities, the Los Gatos Mountains offer substantial outdoor trails — like the Bear Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve — to keep everyone in the family healthy and active. Lexington Reservoir County Park, located north of many Los Gatos Mountain homes, is an excellent place to relax and take in the unbelievable beauty the Los Gatos Mountains offer.

Although the Los Gatos Mountain community removes itself from the city's fast-paced life, places like the Redwood Estates Store and Post Office offer a sense of community in the mountains. Area residents are also close to some of the area's top wineries, organic produce, and restaurants, like The Cats, The Summit Store, and Nonno's Italian Cafe.
Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

The Santa Cruz Mountain Jam is an incredible event that builds self-esteem and fosters community growth, particularly for those with children.

There are plenty of dining, entertainment, and shopping options within the Los Gatos Mountain Community.
