Los Gatos is an extremely convenient part of the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara metropolitan area for driving. Most homes for sale are a reasonably short drive from the nearest highway, such as Valley Freeway, and coming across a place to park is generally easy. However, traveling by public transit is very difficult in Los Gatos. Nonetheless, house owners benefit from a few bus lines, and the nearest bus stop is usually a short walk away. The bicycle is a sometimes poor mode of transportation in Los Gatos because the cycling infrastructure is not especially well-developed, and riding is made arduous by the often hilly area. There also aren't many pedestrians out on the streets of this town, even though running common errands is easy.
