Tiny Los Altos is the quintessential bedroom community - in fact, the only business in town is a bookstore. This Silicon Valley rural oasis has some of the largest homes in the Bay Area - one home boasts 18,000 square feet of living space - and all dwellings must take up at least an acre of this most prime real estate.
