Santa Clara Condos

Santa Clara is named for the mission founded there in 1777, Mission Santa Clara de Asis, the eighth of the 21 California missions. It was incorporated in 1852, and has grown into a upper middle class, ethnically diverse city of a little more than 100,000. About one in three Santa Clarans is Asian, and there is a strong Hispanic community that makes up about 15% of Santa Clara's population. Built on a two and a half century foundation the cultural diversity of Santa Clara makes it an interesting and exciting place to live.

The University of Santa Clara grew up around the Mission and mission grounds, and is recognized as the oldest institution of higher learning in California, Mission College and a highly regarded school system fill out the educational opportunities in a family friendly city. The Great America Amusement Park is located in Santa Clara as are a raft of high tech firms including Intel, Applied Materials, Sun Microsystems, NVIDIA, and Agilent Technologies.  

Santa Clara is one of the best managed cities in California, a case in point is the city owned utility Silicon Valley Power, which, unlike many utilities owned by other cities, actually provides cheaper and more reliable power to the residents of Santa Clara.
