Los Gatos sits in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains, just southwest of San Jose. Incorporated in 1887, the town takes its name from the 1839 land grant La Rinconada de Los Gatos. Downtown centers on Santa Cruz Avenue and Main Street, where the Los Gatos Historic Commercial District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Los Gatos Creek Trail runs from downtown past historic Forbes Mill toward Vasona Lake County Park, and south to Lexington Reservoir. Families enjoy the Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad, which runs between Oak Meadow Park and Vasona Park. St. Joseph's Hill Open Space Preserve rises about a mile from downtown. Highway 17 runs through town, with Highway 85 near its northern edge. The Los Gatos Union School District and the Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High School District serve much of the town. Los Gatos is also home to our office on Lark Avenue.
Most Los Gatos homes are single-family, with many dating from the 1960s and 1970s. The town's five historic districts, including Almond Grove and Broadway, preserve many of its older homes. Hillside neighborhoods rise into the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains.
