Milpitas

Welcome to Milpitas

Milpitas is a diverse, fast-evolving city in northeastern Santa Clara County, bordered by San Jose, Fremont, and the southern edge of the East Bay. With a population of just under 80,000 residents, it sits squarely within Silicon Valley’s industrial and tech corridor while still functioning as a welcoming residential community.
 
Originally an agricultural area known for orchards and ranching, Milpitas incorporated in 1954 as the region began shifting toward manufacturing and technology. That transformation accelerated quickly, and the city became home to major semiconductor, hardware, and logistics companies. Its location near major highways and transit routes has long made it a strategic hub for industry and employment.
 
In recent years, Milpitas has undergone noticeable change. Transit-oriented development around the BART and VTA light rail stations has introduced higher-density housing, new retail, and a more urban feel in select areas. The Great Mall, one of the largest indoor outlet malls in Northern California, remains a major retail anchor and regional draw.
 
At the same time, Milpitas maintains strong neighborhood roots. Parks, community centers, and well regarded schools play a central role in daily life, and the city’s cultural diversity is reflected in its wide-ranging international dining scene. Nearby foothills and baylands provide access to trails and open space, offering balance to the city’s industrial core.
 
Milpitas appeals to residents who value proximity to jobs, transportation, and amenities, along with a community that’s practical, multicultural, and steadily reinventing itself within the larger Silicon Valley landscape.
