Cities and Towns
Although San José is the self-proclaimed “Capital of Silicon Valley,” many other communities play a significant role in making the area’s economy as dynamic as it is. When people speak of Silicon Valley property, they could be referring to properties in more than a dozen towns and cities in several counties.
The city of Palo Alto, for example, is in Santa Clara County and is home to some areas of Stanford University’s campus and the headquarters of high-tech firms like Hewlett-Packard. Both HP and the university continue to make substantial contributions to the innovations that fuel the country’s high-technology economy.
With well over 135,000 residents, one of the larger Silicon Valley cities is Sunnyvale, also in Santa Clara County, which borders San Francisco Bay and serves as the headquarters for high-tech giants like AMD and Yahoo!, as well as well-known smaller firms like Palm, Inc.
Home to the Great America amusement park, as well as the headquarters of Intel, Sun Microsystems, and Applied Materials, Inc., the city of Santa Clara is also the site of the eighth of the 21 California missions.
Insulated from overdevelopment with careful zoning policies, primarily-residential cities such as Saratoga, Monte Sereno and Los Gatos offer homeowners respite from more urban areas in Silicon Valley. Silicon Valley real estate here, while not centrally located in Santa Clara Valley, are some of the most sought-after.
