| Milpitas, California |
|
The Milpitas facility is located in Santa Clara County. Ringed by the
rolling hills of the Diablo Range on the east, and the Santa Cruz
Mountains on the west, the county, with its numerous natural amenities
and one of the highest standards of living in the country, has long been
considered one of the best areas in the United States in which to live
and work. The Mediterranean climate of the region remains temperate year
round due to the area's geography and its proximity to the Pacific
Ocean. Milpitas is centrally located, bordering San Jose to the south
and San Francisco 45 miles to the north, with easy access to three major
international airports. Milpitas is home to more Fortune 500 companies
than any other Bay Area city.
The educational opportunities in the area include three major
universities - Stanford University, Santa Clara University, and San Jose
State University, in addition to a number of outstanding community
colleges. For sports and recreation, Silicon Valley provides innumerable
options. The area is home to many championship golf courses as well as
more than 25 parks covering over 50,000 acres of scenic lakes, streams,
and miles of hiking and biking trails. There are several local sports
teams including the San Jose Sharks, the only professional ice hockey
team in Northern California. Also nearby is the renowned Tech Museum of
Innovation, in addition to several museums and performing arts venues.
