About Gilroy

Located just 30 minutes from downtown San Jose and 45 minutes from Monterey, Gilroy homes are ideally located for commuters to San Benito County, Monterey County, Santa Cruz County and the rest of Santa Clara County. Nicknamed the “Garlic Capital of the World,” Gilroy has long been seen as an agricultural hub for its production primarily of garlic, but also mushrooms and other crops. Showing its agricultural roots, the top employers in the area are Christopher Ranch and Olam Spices & Vegetables. Gilroy has proved it has more to offer and is a great place to live. One of city’s (and one of the Bay Area’s) biggest annual events is the Gilroy Garlic Festival, which attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. The city is also home to a theme park and the Gilroy Premium Outlets which is a favorite shopping destination to the south bay. This city provides award winning recreational programs for youth and adults and is constantly working on making them more accessible for its residents. Gilroy offers both public and private school options and the city’s Christopher High School received an Award of Excellence from the California Park & Recreation Society for the school’s aquatic center.
