Moving to Los Gatos for Netflix? You’re Already in the Right Town.
Netflix headquarters is at 100 Winchester Circle — right here in Los Gatos. If you’re relocating for a Netflix role, you don’t need to figure out where to live. You need someone who knows every street, school, and opportunity in this market.
Netflix HQ Is Here — And So Is Annette
Most companies ask their relocating employees to figure out Silicon Valley on their own. You’re lucky — Netflix’s headquarters at 100 Winchester Circle is in Los Gatos, one of the most livable, most sought-after communities in all of California. You don’t have a long commute ahead of you. You have a five-minute drive — or a bike ride — to one of the most beautiful small towns in Silicon Valley.
I’m Annette Seaborn. I was born and raised in Los Gatos. I’ve sold real estate here for 25 years. I know every micro-market, every listing agent, and every off-market opportunity in 95030 and 95032 — I’ve even built a street here myself, Seaborn Court in Monte Sereno. When my phone rings with a Netflix relocation, I already know which streets will work for your lifestyle, your budget, and your commute.
Where Do Netflix Employees Live? The 5 Neighborhoods They Choose Most
After a quarter-century watching commute patterns near Netflix HQ, here’s my real answer — ranked by drive time and lifestyle.
Los Gatos Village / Downtown Adjacent
3 min · $1.8M–$3.5M
Walkable to downtown. For people who want to ditch their car — coffee, office, home for lunch.
Blossom Manor
5 min · $2.2M–$4M
Family-favorite, excellent schools, wide streets, quiet living.
Vasona / Los Gatos Creek Trail
7 min · $2M–$3.8M
For the employee who bikes to work or runs the Creek Trail before a 9am standup.
Monte Sereno Border Streets
8 min · $2.8M–$5M
The best-kept secret — technically Los Gatos, but with larger lots and more privacy.
Monte Sereno Proper
8 min · $3.5M–$8M+
Gated properties, acre-plus lots, total privacy and prestige.
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.
For Netflix Executives: Compensation, Privacy, and Off-Market Access
Netflix is known for its top-of-market compensation philosophy. Senior engineers, directors, and vice presidents typically see RSU grants combined with base salary in the $600K–$1.2M+ range — translating to purchasing budgets of $3M–$8M depending on vesting history and jumbo loan qualification. That range maps cleanly onto Los Gatos’s most desirable inventory, from downtown single-family homes in the $2.5M–$3.5M range to full Monte Sereno estates at $5M and above.
For Netflix VPs, C-suite executives, and senior directors, the conventional MLS search often isn’t the right approach. Off-market access — properties available through agent-to-agent relationships before or instead of public listing — lets high-profile buyers search with full discretion. I maintain an active network of off-market opportunities and agent relationships in Los Gatos and Monte Sereno specifically for clients who prefer their housing decisions stay private. Privacy, a dedicated home office, top-tier schools, and a home that reflects the chapter of life they’re in — these are the priorities I hear consistently from Netflix clients at this level.
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.
Why Your Agent Choice Matters More Here Than Anywhere
In Los Gatos and Monte Sereno, the real estate market runs on relationships. Listing agents know each other. When I call about one of my buyers, they know me — 25 years of deals, 25 years of closings, 25 years of doing exactly what I say I’ll do. Winning a home here isn’t just about offer price; it’s whether the listing agent trusts the agent bringing it. For you as a Netflix employee relocating from New York, Austin, Seattle, or anywhere else — your choice of local agent is the single most important real estate decision you’ll make.
How to Win in This Market as a Relocating Buyer
Get Pre-Approved Before You Arrive
Los Gatos moves in days, not weeks. Have a strong pre-approval from a local lender before your house-hunting trip.
Work With a Local Agent Who Has Listing Agent Relationships
This is non-negotiable in this market.
Be Ready to Move Quickly
The best homes go pending in under 2 weeks. If you see something you love, the decision timeline is hours, not days.
Understand the Off-Market Opportunity
Some of the best properties never appear on Zillow. I have advance knowledge of homes coming to market — but only for buyers I’m actively working with.
