A small neighborhood that’s big on charm, the Highlands is a woodsy area with plenty of privacy to enhance its cozy atmosphere. Technically, this vicinity includes both the Highlands and Woodland Acres, though many residents make little distinction between the two. Proximity to both Foothill Expressway and Interstate 280 allows a smooth commute for professionals who work in other cities.

The Highlands lies in the foothills of Los Altos, characterized by gentle slopes and winding streets. This tree-rich area is spread out along several cul-de-sacs to create mini-communities within the larger neighborhood. Many of the original homes are being transitioned into larger, more modern homes. It’s perfect for growing families—especially considering the inherent friendliness of the community.

Inhabitants enjoy easy access to miles of recreational trails across thousands of acres of parkland. Many residents also belong to the Woodland Vista Swim and Racquet Club. Plus, there’s plenty of shopping and dining available at nearby plazas like Loyola Corners. The Highlands is assigned to the outstanding Cupertino Union School District for elementary and middle schools, while older teens attend Fremont Union’s well-regarded Homestead High School. With such a wide variety of amenities at your fingertips, you’ll feel right at home in this neighborhood.
