Why I love Los Gatos:
Los Gatos is a destination for those seeking great restaurants, a phenomenal workout or a sumptuous spa experience  and a cherished place to live for some.  Many who live there would prefer if their entire life revolved around just living in “LG” and I can see why.   It’s nestled amongst the hills and, if you’re not in a charming Victorian home in the flats, you are in the hills with trees, terraces of beautiful flora and perhaps a sweeping view. Many of these streets look like they came out of a story book and this town will give your life a story.

Things to do in Los Gatos
Stroll the downtown with endless coffee, wine and food options.  Leave the big box stores behind and shop in original boutiques for one-of-a-kind clothes or knick knacks.  The Sunday farmer’s market around Town Plaza Park is loaded with organic produce, fresh flowers and made-to-order delights.

Hike the trails up to Lexington Reservoir and drink in the great views of the green hills.
Parks in Los Gatos would need their own website but here are a few of my favorite:

Vasona Park is 152 acres, has a lake for paddle boarding, a train for all ages and at Christmas Time “Festival of Lights” that will is worth the walk or drive through experience.

Adjacent to Vasona Park is Oak Meadow Park which has a merry-go-round, an expansive open field to play on and unique play structures for the kids.

Belgatos Park is on the outskirts of town and is less known but has great hiking, good parking and a great space for kids to play.  This neighborhood is not as pricey as homes closer to town but it is a gem.
