Los Gatos, CA · NVIDIA Relocation Guide
NVIDIA's Santa Clara headquarters is 18–22 minutes from Los Gatos via Highway 85. If you're joining one of the world's most valuable companies, you deserve to live in one of Silicon Valley's finest communities.
The Case for Los Gatos
NVIDIA has become one of the most consequential companies in technology — and the employees who join it today are among the most well-compensated in Silicon Valley. With that income comes the ability to choose. And what the most thoughtful, long-tenured Silicon Valley executives consistently choose is Los Gatos and Monte Sereno. The commute from Los Gatos to NVIDIA's Santa Clara headquarters is 18–22 minutes via Highway 85 — a comfortable, predictable drive that gets you home to one of the most beautiful communities in California.
I was born in Los Gatos. I have sold homes here for 25 years. There is a street in Monte Sereno named after me — Seaborn Court — from a development project I purchased and managed solo. When I tell you I know this market, I mean it in a way no other agent can. If you're joining NVIDIA and want to get your housing decision right from the start, this conversation is worth having before you search Zillow.

Local Trust
"There is a street in Monte Sereno named after me. That is what 25 years of local commitment looks like."
In Los Gatos and Monte Sereno, your agent's relationships determine whether you win — not just your offer price. I have sold on every major street in Monte Sereno and Los Gatos. Every listing agent in 95030 and 95032 knows me. When I submit an offer on behalf of an NVIDIA executive relocating from out of state, the listing agent knows it will close. That trust is earned over 25 years. It cannot be replicated by an out-of-area agent, no matter how good they are elsewhere.
Relocation
NVIDIA offers relocation assistance for qualifying new hires and transfers. Packages vary by level and circumstance, and typically involve a relocation management company to coordinate the move. Regardless of what relocation assistance you receive, you are always free to choose the agent who represents you in your home purchase. Choosing an agent with 25 years of exclusive local expertise in the specific market where you are buying is almost always the right decision — especially in a market as competitive and relationship-driven as Los Gatos and Monte Sereno.
The Lifestyle
Los Gatos is where Silicon Valley's most successful people go when they want a life that reflects their success. The downtown village is walkable, the restaurants are exceptional, the mountains begin at the edge of town. Monte Sereno offers something rarer still: complete privacy, estate living, and the knowledge that your neighbors chose this community specifically — not because it was convenient, but because it is the best. For an NVIDIA engineer or executive joining one of the world's most important technology companies, this is the quality of life that matches the moment.
Whether your start date is next month or six months away, the right time to start this conversation is now. The best properties in Los Gatos and Monte Sereno don't wait.
