Santa Clara County, California
Santa Clara County is the heart of Silicon Valley. San Jose is the biggest city, but you’ve got tech hubs like Cupertino (home of Apple) and Mountain View (where Google lives). You can’t forget that Tesla is here too.
It’s crazy expensive, thanks to all those tech jobs. If you can afford it, nature’s not that far away. There’s good hiking in the Santa Cruz Mountains if you need a break from coding.
The county has a mix of old orchards and new subdivisions. There’s lots of great Asian food. Yep, thanks to a big immigrant population. Traffic is a nightmare, but that’s the price of living in the tech capital of the world.
