Los Gatos Has Several Natural Hazard Issues: Do You Know Where They Are?

By
Real Estate Agent with Christie's International Real Estate Sereno 01153805

Where are the earthquake fault zones in Los Gatos? (Did you know that the Shannon Fault runs right through Los Gatos? Many people only think of the large San Andreas Fault that runs through the Santa Cruz Mountains, often near the summit.)

There are other geologic issues to consider as well - dam failure inundation areas, liquifaction zones, flood plains, unstable soil areas.

Where there are hills, there are often issues. Los Gatos, like Saratoga, Monte Sereno and Almaden Valley, is blessed with an abundance of lovely foothills and mountains, so there are hazards to be aware of in buying a home there - or if selling, realize that a buyer may have questions about these issues.

Today I broached this subject in Live in Los Gatos, my blog about Los Gatos homes & housing market, real estate trends, parks, lifestyle, and much more. If you'd like to view maps of the various hazard zones, please read today's post, Where are the Earthquake Fault Zones & Other Natural Hazards in Los Gatos?
