Santa Clara CountyFifteen Cities, One Jumbo Market

A walkable main street under the old water tower, wrapped by San Jose

Apple Park, De Anza, and school boundaries that behave like price lines

Garlic fields, the outlets, and the last Caltrain stop in the county

Old orchards, quarter-acre lots and a village with almost no chains

One-acre minimums, horse paths and no commercial zoning at all

A Victorian downtown at the foot of the Santa Cruz Mountains

A BART station since 2020 and towers going up around it

One square mile between Los Gatos and Saratoga, entirely residential

A capped building rate under El Toro, with Caltrain downtown

Google, Castro Street, and a rent ordinance that shapes the rentals

Professorville, whole Eichler tracts, and Stanford across the street

The third largest city in California, with ten districts and ten price levels

A city-owned power utility, an 1850s quad and a football stadium

Flat streets on one side and hillside ordinances on the other

Murphy Avenue, Lockheed on the bay, and one cross-trained safety department
