So much more than you think
Imagine leisurely walks along neighborhood streets, kids playing catch in the yard, and the trendy new bar as the place to meet. You see, life does not have to be hard. This is life in Silicon Valley’s premier suburb of Campbell, California.
At one time, there were farms, orchards, and several canneries in Campbell. Benjamin Campbell, the city’s founder, grew grain and hay in what is now downtown. The iconic Campbell Water Tower, reaching high above its surroundings, still stands as a reminder of Campbell’s rich agricultural past.
Today, Campbell, CA is redefining the suburb, showing us not only what it looks like to build a life but also how to thrive with life.
Campbell lies southwest of San Jose near the highlands of the Santa Cruz Mountains. It has the benefit of suburban life with easy access to bigger cities and industry; some major technology campuses are within a few miles, and Santa Cruz is less than 30 miles away.
Community is a big part of why people choose Campbell, CA. While not a big city, you can always find something interesting to do here—or, if you cannot find it here, you can find it within driving distance. Various events, such as art walks, festivals, and family activities, are scheduled throughout the year. However, the actual allure of Campbell is its charming, small-town feel.
The neon lights, polished concrete, and exposed ceiling give the Wild Rose Eatery and Bar a club vibe that just about screams for a photo op with friends.

Uncle John’s Pancake House serves hot breakfast and lunch and is sure to please. The light, fluffy pancakes and amazing breakfast burrito are solid hits, and the mimosas are not bad, either.

Luna Mexican Kitchen is serious about its food. It is doubtful that many other restaurants grind their corn by hand, but Luna does.

In addition to the other great restaurants like Luna, there are retail shops, a grocer, and a movie theater.
