Luxury homes tucked into the Santa Cruz Mountains
About 14 miles southwest of downtown San Jose, Glen Una is an all-residential neighborhood at the foot of the Santa Cruz Mountain range. Mountainside homes are secluded, set back from the main roads, but Glen Una is also close to everything, including Saratoga’s excellent schools. “Saratoga used to be where all the doctors and dentists lived,” says EJ Pulpan, who grew up in Saratoga and is now an agent at Christie’s International Real Estate Sereno. “There’s still a medical presence, but tech is the primary industry. Many tech companies are based in Palo Alto or Sunnyvale, but Netflix is in [nearby] Los Gatos. If you’re not gonna live where the office is, Cupertino or Saratoga is the most desired location.” Glen Una’s overall CAP Index crime score is 1 out of 10, lower than the national figure of 4.
Every home in Glen Una is a masterpiece, featuring exquisite architecture, spacious interiors, and breathtaking views.
From grand estates to modern retreats, Glen Una’s homes are designed for those who appreciate timeless elegance.
