Families take their kids to play at spots like Glenview and Greystone parks, while some residents become members of the Almaden Golf & Country Club. A short drive away, Almaden Quicksilver County Park has miles of trails for hikers, cyclists and equestrians.

"There's so much hiking and nature there now, but it's also got a ton of history."
