The neighborhood

Explore Highlands & Woodland Acres with Simon Sahi.

The Highlands and Woodland Acres neighborhoods climb Los Altos' western edge toward the hills, where streets wind through oaks and bay trees and many homes capture views across the valley to the bay. It’s the closest Los Altos gets to hill country — larger parcels, more privacy and trailheads at the end of the street.

Buyers choose the west side for setting: views, open space and the Rancho San Antonio trail system practically next door. For sellers, the differentiators are outlook and acreage — view premiums here are real and durable.

A sense of place

Above it all.

West-side Los Altos feels a world apart from downtown's bustle — though it's only minutes away. Deer in the yard at dusk, hawks circling over the canyon, evening walks with the valley glittering below. Residents trade walk-to-coffee for walk-to-trailhead, and wouldn't have it any other way.
