Saratoga is known for its affluence, nature and loads of cultural activities. Located in the southern Bay Area, with a population of 31,051, the town is loved for its wineries, restaurants, Villa Montalvo, Mountain Winery, Hakone Gardens and beautiful homes. Saratoga also offers a small tract of 35 Eichler homes all built between 1964 and 1965. Expect to find gallery and atrium models that are mostly upscale four-bedroom floor plans ranging from 2100-2800 sq ft living space, on approximately 11,500 sq ft lots. They can be found on DeHavilland Drive, Shubert Drive and Columbine Court. The larger, more spacious lot sizes are definitely one of the distinguishing characteristics of the Saratoga Eichler neigbhorhood just off of Cox Avenue.
