Los Altos

Most of the city's growth occurred between 1950 and 1980. Originally an agricultural town with many summer cottages, Los Altos is now an affluent bedroom community. Los Altos has several distinctive features. Commercial zones are strictly limited to the downtown area and small shopping and office parks lining Foothill Expressway and El Camino Real. Los Altos' low crime rate, excellent schools and proximity to coastal foothills make it one of the area's premier cities.

Los Altos prides itself on a variety of youth-oriented sports organizations, programs, and after-school activities.

The Los Altos Town Crier is the primary newspaper for the town, "serving the Hometown of Silicon Valley since 1947."
