Silicon Valley Area Guide

Welcome to Silicon Valley Located in northern California, Silicon Valley is America’s most popular high-tech hub of innovation. It is a densely-populated region of the San Francisco Bay Area encompassing the metropolitan markets of San Francisco and San Jose, plus several nearby cities. More than 7 million people reside within the nine counties that make up the Bay Area. The area accounts for one-third of all venture capital investment in the United States, which has helped it to become a focal point of global mobility. The Silicon Valley name is derived from the Santa Clara Valley being the location of the invention of the silicon-based integrated circuit. Multiple regions now make up the Valley: the city of San Francisco, the Peninsula area, the East Bay, and San Jose or the South Bay. The cities outlined in this guide are among the best that the Valley has to offer. While each city in the area is unique, the cities listed in this guide represent cultural, housing, and schooling norms throughout each specific region. Silicon Valley Housing
