Los Altos Hills

Welcome to Los Altos Hills

Los Altos Hills, which translates from the Spanish to “The Heights Hills”, is an incorporated town in Santa Clara County on the western perimeter of Silicon Valley. The population according to the 2010 US Census was 7,922, with an estimated 8,423 in 2019. According to the US Census Bureau, Los Altos Hills covers 9.03 square miles of land. The Los Altos Hills zip code appeared on the Forbes 2017 list of Americas most expensive. 94022 was ranked the third most expensive in the United States, with a median home price of $7,755,000. In 2019 Bloomberg ranked Los Altos Hills the fourth richest town in the United States.

Los Altos Hills has a ban on commercial zones, and effectively multi-family as well. Residential regulations stipulate a minimum lot size of one acre. Los Altos Hills real estate maintains a rural feel, similar to the likes of San Mateo County and Silicon Valley peripheral neighbors Portola Valley and Woodside, and in many cases with parcels within striking distance of downtown Los Altos. Many feel that the Hills provide the perfect rural and urban/suburban mix.

LAH is served by both the Palo Alto Unified School District (serving the northern part of the town) and the Los Altos School District (serving the southern part of the town). In 2008, LASD reopened Bullis elementary school in the Los Altos Hills, and it is consistently rated among the top public primary schools in the region.
