Santa Clara

Welcome to Santa Clara

Santa Clara sits at the geographic heart of Silicon Valley, bordered by San Jose, Sunnyvale, and Cupertino. With a population of just over 125,000 residents, it’s a city where history, higher education, professional sports, and global technology intersect in a way that feels both substantial and surprisingly grounded.
 
Founded in 1777 as Mission Santa Clara de Asís, the city is one of California’s oldest settlements. That early history still anchors Santa Clara today, with the mission and Santa Clara University shaping both the physical landscape and the city’s long-standing emphasis on education. Over time, orchards gave way to industry, research, and corporate campuses as the region evolved into Silicon Valley.
 
Santa Clara is home to major technology employers as well as Levi’s Stadium, where the San Francisco 49ers play, making it a regional destination on game days and for large events. Yet much of daily life here unfolds quietly in established residential neighborhoods, local shopping districts, and community parks. The city doesn’t have a single dominant downtown; instead, it’s made up of multiple activity centers that serve residents where they live.
 
Parks, trails, and community facilities are spread throughout the city, offering balance to its dense employment base. Housing ranges from mid-century neighborhoods to newer apartments and townhomes near transit and job centers. Santa Clara appeals to residents who want centrality and access—to jobs, education, and transportation—without sacrificing a stable, neighborhood-focused way of life.
