What makes Morgan Hill the perfect home?

Morgan Hill, California is home to nearly 40,000 residents and is the place to be in the south Bay Area. This peaceful, beautiful town offers an escape from the busy cities such as San Jose yet has everything you need within its borders. Whether it's shopping with friends or going out for a family dinner, Morgan Hill either has it or is close by. There are no words that can capture the true feeling of living in Morgan Hill, but here are some reasons why we love living here:

Morgan Hill's downtown is small but charming. Stores for all types of necessities border the historic Monterey Road for miles. From the Music Tree to Booksmart on 2nd Street, there's something for everyone. 

Every year, the city improves its roads and gardens and downtown gets prettier every year! Public squares and gardens are great for family walks or relaxing with friends.

The best part of downtown Morgan Hill is its choice of restaurants. For breakfast, lunch, or dinner there is a restaurant ready to offer its fine cuisine. The legendary Trail Dust known throughout the Bay Area is a steakhouse dedicated to cooking the best barbecue you can find. Or you can head over the Sinoloa's, the busiest restaurant in town that serves delicious Mexican food with its own additions. For a complete list of Morgan Hill's restaurants, click here!

Morgan Hill is located between Gilroy and San Jose. A member of the Santa Clara County, it is a short distance from the heart of Silicon Valley and the rest of the Bay Area.

Morgan Hill is unfortunately overshadowed by its sibling cities, Gilroy and San Jose. However, it is home to nearly 40,000 people and is large enough to feel like you're not alone, but small enough to be able to kick back and relax in a secluded valley.

What's great about Morgan Hill is that it's just outside of larger cities full of other activities! Within 20 minutes car drive, you can be at Oakridge Mall in San Jose or at the Gilroy Outlets. A 45-minute car ride will get you to the world renowned Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk! The city of San Francisco is an hour away and there's an unlimited number of things to do between The City and Morgan Hill!

Morgan Hill is perfect to raise a family in a safe and secure environment. Close to the job opportunities in the heart of Silicon Valley and far away enough to get away from the city madness, Morgan Hill is the ideal family town.

Residents love it here because Morgan Hill offers a life of simplicity in a world full of work, stress, and responsibilities. Coming home from a hard day of work, one can sit down, drink a glass of ice cold water and bask in the Morgan Hill sunlight surrounded by California's nature.
