Saratoga, California
Eastern Saratoga foothill cul-de-sacs bordering Cupertino — ranch and Mediterranean homes on 10,000-plus-square-foot lots, minutes from Apple.
The neighborhood
Blue Hills sits along Saratoga's eastern edge, where the city meets Cupertino in a series of foothill cul-de-sacs lined with magnolias and Japanese maples. Homes are typically ranch or two-story Mediterranean styles on 10,000 to 12,000-square-foot lots — a step up in land from the valley floor.
The location is a commuter's sweet spot: Apple Park and the Cupertino tech corridor are minutes away, top-rated Cupertino schools serve the area, and the crime index ranks among the safest in the region.
