Do you want to live in a special place that’s not too far from the city? Are you looking for somewhere to unwind after a long day at work? Saratoga, California is the right town for you and the family. This charming residential community is tucked into the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Located on the western edge of Silicon Valley and west of San Jose, it has a lovely small town feel. Forbes Magazine placed it in the top 20 list of the most educated small towns in 2009.
A great bonus for the town is the nearby 3,688 acre Sanborn Park set on the eastern slopes of the Santa Cruz Mountains. It is heavily forested with towering Redwoods, Big Leaf Maple and Tanbark Oaks. It offers many hiking trails and rock climbing opportunities. The first segment of the Bay Area Ridge Trail starts in the park and eventually circumnavigates the entire San Francisco Bay. It is almost 500 miles in length and attracts hikers from all over the world! The park has picnic facilities, shady grassed lawns, is dog friendly, and overnight camping is allowed.
The town is well known for its unique shopping, distinctive cultural locations, and dining establishments. Hakone Gardens is a Japanese estate garden and is the oldest in the Western hemisphere. The Mountain Winery is much more than vineyards and a tasting room. It hosts many live concerts throughout the year on its large stage, and has a seating capacity of 7,500. Most of the stores in town are locally owned and run by locals. If you like to dine out you won’t be disappointed as there are numerous choices. The Brittania Arms pub serves craft beers and fish n’ chips, and in the evening turns into a fantastic live music venue.
Because Saratoga is an easy commute to Silicon Valley and San Jose it is a popular choice for people working there.
