Sausalito, CA
Sausalito sits directly across the Golden Gate from San Francisco, and its waterfront views of both the bridge and the city skyline across the bay have made it one of the most photographed small towns in the entire Bay Area, drawing a steady flow of day-trip visitors alongside its roughly 7,000 year-round residents. The town's floating homes community, moored along its northern waterfront, traces back to a countercultural houseboat movement that took root in the 1950s and '60s and has survived numerous legal and zoning battles since to remain one of the largest and most distinctive floating-home communities in the entire country. Sausalito developed originally as a shipbuilding and ferry town, and the Sausalito Ferry, run today by Golden Gate Ferry, still carries commuters and visitors directly across the bay to San Francisco's Ferry Building in about 30 minutes, a genuinely scenic alternative to driving across the Golden Gate Bridge itself. Bridgeway, the town's main waterfront street, is lined with galleries, restaurants, and shops that have made Sausalito a genuine tourist destination in its own right, and the combination of that waterfront tourism economy with its historic floating-home community and direct ferry access to San Francisco has made Sausalito one of the most visually distinctive towns anywhere in Marin County.
VS
Los Gatos, CA
Los Gatos sits at the southwestern edge of Silicon Valley in Santa Clara County, where the flat valley floor gives way to the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains, giving the town a more wooded, hillside character than the flatter suburban sprawl found in much of the rest of the South Bay. Netflix has been headquartered in Los Gatos since 1999, and the company's continued presence has made the small town, with a population of under 35,000, home to one of the most globally recognized media and technology company headquarters located outside a major city center. The town's downtown historic district, built around Santa Cruz Avenue and North Santa Cruz Avenue, has preserved a substantial stock of early-20th-century commercial buildings, giving Los Gatos a walkable, small-town commercial core that's stood in deliberate contrast to the larger, more corporate office-park development found in neighboring Silicon Valley cities. Los Gatos's combination of foothill scenery at the edge of the Santa Cruz Mountains, a major global technology and media company headquarters in Netflix, and a well-preserved historic downtown has made it one of the more distinctive and consistently expensive small towns anywhere in the South Bay.
