Los Altos used to be an agricultural town with apricot orchards, some of which still exist, like the ones by Los Altos town hall. The summer cottages had mostly been replaced by ranch-style homes between the 1950's and 1980's. Now, you'll see some very large, architecturally diverse homes taking place of the ranchers, owned by some of tech's wealthiest, thanks to Los Altos' location in the heart of California's Silicon Valley.
