North Los Altos —Neighborhood with a rural-feel in the heart of the Silicon Valley
Awash in history and a friendly sense of community, North Los Altos has retained much of its rural character since its development. Bounded by Foothill Expressway, El Camino Real, El Monte Road and Adobe Creek, this neighborhood is conveniently located adjacent to Palo Alto as well as desirable to live in.
North Los Altos Neighborhood Real Estate Insider
Old homes are being bulldozed in favor of newer homes, which makes living in North Los Altos a bit pricier than your average community in Santa Clara County. Real estate prices range from $900,000 to $3.5 million with the median home selling for $1.7 million in 2006. Condominiums offer the best of both worlds, priced more accessibly at a median of $665,000 in 2006.
Streets are lined with trees and every house is distinct from the one next door. Ranging from Craftsman homes to Georgian-style houses, North Los Altos is definitely not a tract development. Many residents have renovated their North Los Altos real estate as well.
The North Los Altos demographic is a balanced mix of empty nesters and families, which provides for an inviting sense of community. Festivities abound, including a Friday movie night on the main street, the renowned Festival of Lights parade, a pet parade, art in the park festivals, and an outstanding arts and wine festival.
Proximity to the freeway and foothill expressway makes commuting a breeze, and shopping is available in downtown Los Altos, Los Altos Village Court and San Antonio Shopping Center on El Camino Real. There is also the Los Altos History Museum nearby as well.
