Like other small-town cities in the local area, the city of Saratoga, CA was incorporated in direct response to threats of annexation made by the city of San Jose during the early 1950's.  Also in common with a majority of the other cities in Santa Clara County, Saratoga was once based on an economy of agriculture and served as host to orchards and vineyards; of which only a tiny fraction continue to operate to this day.  As Silicon Valley was gradually established in the San Francisco Bay Area, so, too did Saratoga gradually evolve into a bedroom community for Silicon Valley executives and other professional types.

The thing that attracted and continues to attract individuals and families looking for housing to Saratoga is the city’s rural “small town” atmosphere.  Living in Saratoga offers the perfect balance between the quiet home life that people want, the need to be close to employers, and the desire to be close to attractions like shopping, dining, and other points of interest.

Geographically, Saratoga rests in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains - just west of San Jose and on Silicon Valley’s western edge.  Almost 30,000 residents call Saratoga their home - something that most are proud to be able to do.  Not only is the city conveniently close to metropolises like San Francisco and San Jose (also known as “LA North”), the city has garnered such prestigious titles as; 4th top earning town in America in 2008, one of the United State’s most educated small towns in 2009, the most expensive suburb in California in 2010, and home to the 18th wealthiest zip code in the United States in 2011.  Even with all of the fancy titles and honors, the town’s list of top 10 employers continues to include two grocery stores, a pharmacy, a winery, and a car wash.

For anyone with property to spare in Saratoga, a pretty penny can be made by renting out a vacant property to tenants on a lease to lease basis.  Even better is that a pretty penny can still be made if the owner partners with a professional Saratoga property management firm.  Some property owners are of the idea that they can’t afford property management services, but these owners are undoubtedly mistaken.  A property management service is actually a service that pays for itself almost immediately.  This is because most Saratoga property management firms only charge property owners a small percentage of rent collected from tenants as their fee.

When they partner with a professional management team, property owners need not worry about any of the tedious nuances of property management like screening rental applicants, keeping track of accounts, arranging repairs, etc.  The job of the property manager is to act as the property owner’s agent for any and all matters relating to the management of the property - leaving the property owner plenty of free time to fulfill personal obligations, maintain regular employment, take up a new hobby, or just relax and do little of anything.  Of course, property owners could try to do everything on their own, but history has shown that property owners who partner with a professional management team early on have a far more positive and financially rewarding property management experience than those who don’t.
