The city of Santa Clara has provided our family with many opportunities within the community. The schools within the Santa Clara Unified School District, especially Laurelwood Elementary School, have given our family lifetime friendships and allowed us to become active members within our community. We have been involved in running many events at the local schools such as California History Day, Ice Cream Social, The Nutcracker play and the school's Walk-a-thon fundraiser. To keep our local community together, in 2007 our family started holding an annual Backyard BBQ Talent Show for the local friends and residents. With my rewarding 12 plus years of volunteering in the local schools and hosting local events, I have finally found my true calling, to become an elementary school teacher!
Santa Clara is an excellent city! Safety, cleanliness, community, and friendliness are just some of the words to describe this amazing city! Santa Clara is within the heart of the Silicon Valley, located in the heart of all tech companies, and an easy travel destination with three major international airports within 30 minutes.
I've lived in Santa Clara my entire life! Through-out the years, Santa Clara has always been labeled a "quiet" town, and to be quite honest, nothing really exciting ever happens here. A lot of the shopping plazas in the city have been getting major renovations done, and for the better! Santa Clara is starting to thrive more, especially in the night-time/social scene! With more and more people coming to Santa Clara, of course traffic is inevitable. Many of the schools, groceries, and eateries are within walking distance with one another. In regards to transportation, Santa Clara is perfectly niched within the El Camino Real, which makes transportation via bus very accessible! The only downfall in Santa Clara would have to be the rent (then again that goes for the WHOLE bay area). If my financial status is good within the next few years, I wouldn't mind starting my family here!!
