The Santa Clara Real Estate Guide

Santa Clara (known to many as Surf City) is the ultimate Northern California beach town with its year-round recreation and mild sunny weather most of the year. From its vibrant seascapes and popular surfer haven to the famous Santa Clara Beach Boardwalk, the West Coast's last remaining seaside amusement park, locals and visitors alike know how to have a good time.

Located 74 miles south of San Francisco and just 30 scenic miles from San Jose, California's majestic redwood forests lead the way to more than just popular beach recreation. Santa Clara's rich history and acclaimed arts, as well as its vibrant shops, galleries, outdoor bistros, sidewalk musicians and colorful nightlife downtown, add to its off beat, yet ever popular personality.

The well-known Pacific Avenue in Santa Clara is the cultural and social center of the city showcasing an upscale residential district, historic Victorians, galleries and a modern art museum amid its natural beauty and style. And hidden behind the city's vivid tourism are industries that include agriculture, manufacturing, food processing and high technology.
