Los Altos Hills is a prestigious community with beautiful estate homes. Nestled amongst the rolling hills west of Highway 280, many of the properties offer captivating views of nature. Architectural styles include stately traditional homes as well as spectacular contemporary new construction.
Strict zoning regulations require all lots to be a minimum of one acre in size. Consequently, homes in Los Altos Hills are among the largest in the Bay Area. Sprinkled across the community’s wooded hillsides, homes in this area offer privacy and a peaceful retreat that has proved enormously appealing to some of Silicon Valley’s most prominent figures.
Los Altos Hills real estate is among the most expensive in the country, the least expensive homes going for $2.5 million and the highest up to $9 million. The median sale price is roughly in the $5 million range.
Los Altos Hills has two neighborhoods: Town Center, which is flatter and east of Hwy 280, and Natoma Rd/Elena Rd, which is hillier and west of Hwy 280.
Conveniently located mid-Peninsula, Los Altos Hills offers easy access to Silicon Valley tech hubs. It is also within 40 miles of Downtown San Francisco and SFO International Airport.
Los Altos Hills is bounded to the east and south by the sprawling open space of the 1,400-acre
Foothills Park and the 3,988-acre
Rancho San Antonio Preserve. Miles of hiking, cycling, and equestrian trails meander through these glorious green spaces. Hiking trails rise to the 2,812-foot summit of Black Mountain, directly south of Los Altos Hills.
Los Altos Hills is served by excellent public schools in either the Los Altos school district (all of which currently have an “A” ranking) or the Palo Alto school district, which is #1 in the entire state of California.
With large lots, a top-ranked school system, and a convenient location, Los Altos Hills provides its residents with opportunities to experience the best in entertainment, education, and exploration.
