Los Gatos Reviews
Rating 4.08 out of 5 64 reviews
Los Gatos is a city that is incredibly safe with great scenery and venues. The community is welcoming and eager to help out. However, the issue of affordability is prevalent with the prices of housing being especially expensive though restaurants and commercial shops also have a price tag on the higher end.
Between the beautiful hikes and idyllic shops downtown, Los Gatos is a great place to live for any type of person - those who are tech-savvy workers in Silicon Valley, retirees enjoying a view of the rich mountainous landscape, or someone in between. Additionally, Los Gatos is an access point to many other towns and cities nearby, with San Jose, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, and many more locations to do fun activities. Despite a bit of a lack of diversity and considerably high prices for many wares, residents are friendly and proud of their cozy, mountainous town.
Los Gatos is a great location for families looking for a safe area to live, with multiple high ranked schools. As a student in Los Gatos High, I really enjoyed growing up here. The schools, parks, library, and downtown are all within walking distance from one another making Los Gatos a very tight nit community. Although there is not much diversity the people are very welcoming to new people with different cultures and backgrounds.
