Los Gatos

A thriving modern community with a small town image.

Welcome to Los Gatos

 
A thriving modern community with a small town image
 
Los Gatos is a bustling suburb outside of San Jose, part of Silicon Valley’s fast-paced economy. The endearing town was founded in the 1850s. The name Los Gatos, or “The Cats,” comes from the Spanish phrase la rinconada de los gatos, or “The Corner of the Cats,” because of the native bobcats and cougars in the area. Over the years, Los Gatos served as a hub for many industries and even became renowned as an art colony.
 
It is now home to many notable high-tech companies, making it an excellent place for tech-focused careerists to settle down. There is a quaint downtown with lots of unique shops and eateries, but Los Gatos offers everything one could want in city life.
 

What to Love

 
  • Charming downtown area with Victorian-era architecture 
  • Mild year-round climate

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

The Los Gatos Certified Farmers’ Market welcomes visitors weekly at the Town Market Plaza. Take a stroll through to find some of the best seasonal produce and food goods like honey, eggs, mushrooms, and more. This is a great way to support and get to know the community's local farmers and food producers.

Every summer (for more than 30 years), Los Gatos Music in the Park brings a free, weekly summer concert series featuring a variety of music genres in a family-friendly atmosphere. Another favorite musical event is the Fourth of July Symphony in the Park. Held at Oak Meadow Park, there is a symphony performance, flag-raising ceremony, and activities for all ages.

Outdoor activities include numerous town parks and trails. The Los Gatos Creek Trail is beloved for its natural beauty and is enjoyed by walkers, cyclists, and skaters.
