Tucked in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains, this Bay Area suburb is beloved for its exceptional public schools, beautiful parks, and quiet, safe neighborhoods. Visitors as well as residents delight in walking the serene Hakone Gardens, sampling local wines at Mount Eden Vineyards, and hiking amongst old-growth redwoods on the Skyline-to-the-Sea Trail. Because Saratoga is such an ideal place to live, homes in the area are very, very expensive. We think SB 9 has great potential to increase affordable housing options in Santa Clara Valley and throughout California.
