Located at the southern edge of Santa Clara County, Gilroy is known as the “Garlic Capital of the World,” but it’s much more than its annual festival. The city has evolved into a family-friendly community with scenic vineyards, suburban neighborhoods, and excellent access to Silicon Valley.
With a population of nearly 60,000 and growing, Gilroy offers a unique blend of small-town charm and economic opportunity, making it a smart location for real estate investment.
Why Invest in Gilroy
Affordable Real Estate Compared to Silicon Valley Gilroy offers a more affordable entry point for investors than cities like San Jose or Palo Alto. The median home price in Gilroy is approximately $870,000 (as of May 2025), significantly less than other Santa Clara County cities. Rental homes also provide strong yields, with lower vacancy rates and consistent demand from families and professionals.
Strong Rental Demand Gilroy attracts tenants looking for a quieter lifestyle while remaining within commuting distance to major tech hubs. Its location along Highway 101 and its Caltrain station make it ideal for workers in San Jose, Santa Clara, and even San Francisco.
Community Growth and Development Recent investments in infrastructure, schools, and parks have made Gilroy even more attractive. The city is also surrounded by wineries, hiking trails, and outlets, drawing both tourists and new residents.
Warm summers, mild winters, and a close-knit community make Gilroy popular with young families and retirees. Community events like the Garlic Festival, farmers markets, and art shows contribute to a vibrant local culture.
