About Los Altos Hills
Los Altos Hills is Silicon Valley's best-kept secret for buyers who want space, privacy, and nature without leaving the Peninsula. Town ordinances mandate minimum one-acre lots and prohibit commercial development, keeping the community entirely residential and green. Hiking and equestrian trails wind through the hills. With top Foothill College and Stanford nearby, and Gunn and Paly high schools serving the town, the lifestyle-to-price ratio is compelling relative to Atherton.
Why Los Altos Hills?
- Semi-rural estate lifestyle
- Horse trails and open space
- Minimum 1-acre lots
- No commercial development

What are the downsides of Los Altos Hills?
