Alta Vista Neighborhood of Los Gatos (and Cambrian Park)

The Alta Vista neighborhood, which sits along the border of Los Gatos and the Cambrian Park district of San Jose, is very highly sought after and valued for many, many reasons. Real estate prices vary depending upon the precise location within the neighborhood as well as the size and condition of the home.

Why is this area so popular?  Most of the streets close to Alta Vista School are beautifully tree-lined, and from virtually everywhere in the neighborhood, you are close to Blossom Hill (that’s the name of the hill, not just the name of the road!).  Homes are well kept, streets are wide enough, and except when there’s a school function, there really aren’t too many cars on the street. It is very scenic, pleasant and uncrowded feeling.  Although you’re in the city or town, you feel close to the country there.

Additionally, the elementary school in the heart of the neighborhood is a huge draw - the API scores there are tops!

A nearby area with attendance at Alta Vista (or Carlton) that's a little more affordable is Cambrian Gardens.  Read about it at the post below.
