The South Bay is made up of several diverse cities and neighborhoods. Santa Clara County today is a world-leading hub for technology and innovation, and San Jose is considered the Capital of Silicon Valley. What started as farm land with orchards, has been replaced by the high-tech industry. It is home of many world's most notable tech companies like Apple, Google, eBay, PayPal. This region has the highest concentration of high-tech workers of any metropolitan area, and is one of the top research and development centers in the world.

The area has a work hard/play hard ethos that translates into innumerable leisure time activities. From taking in a high-energy San Jose Sharks game, shopping on Santana Row, or strolling the streets of any of the region’s thriving downtowns, residents and visitors can find countless ways to unwind. And close proximity to the attractions of San Francisco to the north and beach lounging to the south make it an ideally central location. Santa Clara County is a unique combination of intellect, opportunity, and ideal living, and this true synergy of creativity and commerce keep the region constantly pushing forward.
