The Best Place to Live in Silicon Valley is Milpitas, California, 95035!
Jump to News or Most Popular Pages

Milpitas is a fair sized, suburban city that is situated between San Jose and Fremont, that has retained that small town feel, making us a best place to live. City Council and School Board meetings are social events, and are still accessible online since Covid-19, so even if you live elsewhere, you can still attend. Politically, we tend to vote Democrat, but every nuance of progressive politics is evident.

Being in Northern California, it is cooler than the southern end of the state, yet because of the Silicon Valley mountains that block the worse weather, it tends to be “nice” year around so heating and cooling bills are trivial. Frost is rare, and it never snows in the valley. Heat is seldom unbearable. Prevailing winds are typically toward the eastern hills, so if grass fires start there, they tend to go away from the town. Landslides are not a concern.
