Los Gatos Real Estate Agent

As your Los Gatos real estate agent, I can tell you everything you need to know about this charming community nestled at the base of the Sierra Azules. One of the most established and historic communities in the area, the town has quite a story to tell.

The name Los Gatos, means the cats in Spanish and was taken from the original land grant in the locale that was called Rancho Rinconada de Los Gatos which means the corner of the cats. The area was named such due to the wild cats that roamed the Santa Cruz Mountains. Aside from its unique name, the terrain of the town adds to the beauty of this community. Here, one finds rich valleys, stunning hillsides, and flowing streams and creeks.

Back when the area was first settled in 1840, there weren't too many homes for sale in Los Gatos, CA. It wasn't until 1887 at the town's incorporation and then later in 1890 that the population of the town began to steadily grow. Today, this independent community that started out as farms, orchard, and timber lands, is one of the most sought-after suburban locales in the Bay Area.
