Los Gatos, CA · ServiceNow Relocation Guide
ServiceNow's Santa Clara headquarters is 18–22 minutes from Los Gatos via Highway 85. If you're joining one of Silicon Valley's fastest-growing enterprise companies, here's where the smartest executives are choosing to live.
ServiceNow has grown into one of Silicon Valley's premier enterprise software companies, and the executives and engineers who join it today have real options about where they live. The ones who do their research — who think about schools, quality of life, long-term home value, and what it means to come home at the end of a challenging day — consistently land in Los Gatos and Monte Sereno. The 18-22 minute commute on Highway 85 is a small price for everything you get on the other end.
I was born and raised 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. I know every micro-market, every listing agent, and every off-market opportunity in 95030 and 95032. If you're joining ServiceNow and want to get your housing right from day one, this is the conversation to have first.

"In Los Gatos and Monte Sereno, your offer wins or loses based on your agent's relationships — not just your price."
I have spent 25 years building trust with every listing agent in 95030 and 95032. When I call about one of my buyers, they answer. When I submit an offer, they know it will close — cleanly, on time, without drama. For ServiceNow employees relocating from Chicago, New York, Dallas, or anywhere else, that agent-to-agent trust is the competitive edge you can't replicate by working with an out-of-area agent.
ServiceNow offers relocation assistance for qualifying new hires and internal transfers. Packages typically include moving expense reimbursement and may include temporary housing and home purchase assistance depending on your level and situation. You are always free to choose the agent who represents you in your home purchase — and choosing an agent with 25 years of exclusive local expertise in the market where you are buying is almost always the right call. I am experienced with corporate relocation timelines and can work within any relocation program structure.
Los Gatos is the answer to a question most Silicon Valley professionals eventually ask: is there a place where I can have it all? The answer is yes — and it's 20 minutes from ServiceNow. Downtown Los Gatos has a walkable main street with acclaimed restaurants, a weekly farmers market, and boutique shops. Oak Meadow Park sits at the foot of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Los Gatos High School ranks among California's top public high schools. Monte Sereno, just across the city boundary, offers private estates and the kind of privacy that only truly limited supply can provide. This is where Silicon Valley's most thoughtful people choose to live.
