If you’re a Netflix employee googling this at 11pm with sixteen browser tabs open, here’s the first thing to know: Netflix headquarters is at 100 Winchester Circle, and that address is in Los Gatos, California — not San Jose, not “the Bay Area” vaguely, but on a quiet circle minutes from where I grew up. Most people don’t realize that until they’re standing in the parking lot. So when new hires ask me where do Netflix employees live, my answer starts the same way: closer than you think, in a neighborhood you haven’t heard of yet.
I’m Annette Seaborn, a REALTOR® with Coldwell Banker for over 25 years, selling exclusively in Los Gatos and Monte Sereno. I know this market because I grew up here, and I’ve personally helped Netflix employees find homes in every neighborhood below. There’s even a street with my name on it — Seaborn Court in Monte Sereno — from a land project I purchased and managed solo. I’m not guessing; I’ve stood in these driveways.
The 5 Neighborhoods Netflix Employees Choose Most
After a quarter-century watching commute patterns near Netflix headquarters in Los Gatos, here’s my real answer to where do Netflix employees live — the five pockets they choose most, ranked by drive time and lifestyle.
1. Los Gatos Village / Downtown Adjacent — 3 minutes, walkable, $1.8M–$3.5M
For people who want to ditch their car. Walk to North Santa Cruz Avenue for coffee, the office, home for lunch.
2. Blossom Manor — 5 minutes, family-friendly, $2.2M–$4M
Where I send Netflix families with kids. Wide streets, strong schools, and the way the Santa Cruz Mountains turn gold and violet at dusk from a backyard here — I’ve watched that view sell a house.
3. Vasona / Los Gatos Creek Trail Area — 7 minutes, outdoor lifestyle, $2M–$3.8M
For the employee who bikes to work or runs the Creek Trail before a 9am standup. Vasona Park is right there.
4. Monte Sereno Border Streets / Caldwell Ave Pocket — 8 minutes, luxury value, $2.8M–$5M
The best-kept secret here — technically Los Gatos, but with larger lots and more privacy than full Monte Sereno pricing demands.
5. Monte Sereno Proper — 8 minutes, ultra-luxury estates, $3.5M–$8M+
My home turf. Gated properties, acre-plus lots, total privacy, 8 minutes to Netflix HQ. I built Seaborn Court here and know nearly every agent who’ll ever list a home in this zip code.
What Homes Actually Cost Near Netflix
I won’t sugarcoat this market. As of 2026, the median sold home price in Los Gatos is $3.28M, homes go under contract in 17 days on average, and sellers get 101.3% of list price. Overbidding is the baseline here, not the exception. See my neighborhoods guide for a deeper breakdown.
Why Netflix Employees Keep Choosing Los Gatos Over Santana Row, San Jose, or Campbell
I get this question constantly: why not live closer to San Jose, or near Santana Row? The answer is lifestyle, not proximity. Los Gatos gives you a small-town main street, real hiking trails out your back door, and a school district that outperforms the surrounding area, without sacrificing the short commute. See my relocation guide for Netflix employees.
Schools: Los Gatos USD for Netflix Families
If you have kids or plan to, read this twice. Netflix families overwhelmingly land within Los Gatos-Saratoga Joint Union High School District boundaries, feeding into Fisher Middle School and Los Gatos High School — both carrying reputations that hold real weight in resale value. I’ve had buyers choose one house over an identical one two streets away purely for that school assignment.
The Agent Trust Factor: How to Compete as an Out-of-Area Buyer
Here’s what nobody tells relocating buyers: winning a home here isn’t just about offer price. It’s whether the listing agent trusts the agent bringing it. I’ve worked this market 25 years and know every listing agent in 95030 and 95032 through decades of closed deals. When my buyer’s offer lands on a desk, that agent already knows my name and that my clients close. That’s worth real money in a market moving in 17 days. See the Monte Sereno real estate page for how this plays out at the ultra-luxury tier.

I’ve lived this town my whole life and sold homes in it for 25 years, and there’s still a version of Los Gatos I fall for every summer — the Oak Meadow Park Symphony on the Fourth of July, blankets on the grass as light fades over the mountains. If you end up here, I hope you find your own version of that. If you want help finding the house that gets you there, you know where to find me.
