Welcome to Los Altos

Once an agricultural town with many summer cottages, Los Altos is now an affluent bedroom community located 40 miles south of San Francisco. Los Altos prides itself on its charming atmosphere, excellent schools, volunteerism, community spirit, and family-oriented events. Served by several small retail areas, as commercial zones are limited, Los Altos maintains a semi-rural feel with a quaint downtown representative of “small-town America”—yet sits in the heart of San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and other bustling Bay area centers.
