A very tidy neighborhood tucked behind Union Avenue and Blossom Hill Road in east Los Gatos, the Strathmore neighborhood consists of nicely built homes on tree lined streets and shares a common pool or cabana.

In the shadow of the foothills, it's very scenic, but also convenient for shops, schools, and freeways.

The houses, which are about 40-45 years old generally, run between 1500 and 2500 for the most part, and cost between $800,000 and $1,200,000 in most cases. This is fairly affordable by Los Gatos standards and the reason is that it's in not the Los Gatos School District, but the Union School District.
