Food Scene

Literally a mom and pop run restaurant, they have the freshest sashimi around. Portions are healthy and the food tasty and reasonably priced. Just a small family atmosphere.

A more upscale presentation of Silicon Valley nightlife, you're sure to see a Ferrari (or three) on any given night. Plenty of excellent fine dining choices to please even the most selective palates.

Parks & Nature

Just a 5 minute walk from the house, once there you'll forget your in the suburbs. Miles of hills and trails offer fantastic views. Depending on the season, you may even see a turkey chasing another turkey, a tarantula, or a deer. At night, we can sometimes hear the coyotes howl.

Spectacular views of the Bay Area. Like rock climbing? Try your hand at Castle Rock. If offers an array of "swiss cheese" like rock formations with little caves and crevasses. A climbers delight. Arrive early as parking fills up on sunny days.
