Welcome to Gilroy

Known globally as the "Garlic Capital of the World," Gilroy real estate offers a refreshing blend of agricultural heritage and modern suburban expansion. For buyers, the value lies in the "more for your money" factor; you can often find sprawling single-family homes or newer builds at a significantly lower price point than in northern Silicon Valley. A piece of trivia for the savvy investor: Gilroy is uniquely positioned at the gateway of the Central Coast and the Bay Area, making it a strategic hub for those who want proximity to the tech corridor without the high-density congestion.
