WHY

Silicon Valley Is One Of The America’s Standout Real Estate Markets

The Bay Area is one of California’s most famed regions, home to nearly eight million people. It is a center of culture and commerce, seeing millions of visitors every year and offering so much to explore. In the South Bay Area, you’ll find a unique place famed for its economic power: Silicon Valley.

Silicon Valley is a region with some of the biggest cities in the Bay Area, many of the most important companies, and much to see and do. While home prices in this area are typically very high, it remains one of the most sought-after markets in the U.S. for all it can offer buyers. Let’s look at some of the perks of life in Silicon Valley.

Unmatched Job Opportunities

Silicon Valley has an economy that is one of the most significant of any single region in the world. It is the heart of the global technology industry, housing many of the biggest tech and social media companies and many of the biggest venture capital businesses in the United States. It has an array of lucrative job opportunities for qualified residents, with sky-high salaries that match the region’s sky-high cost of living.

Some companies headquartered in Silicon Valley include Google, Facebook, Apple, Zoom, Netflix, PayPal, and more. Just about every major tech company has a significant campus in Silicon Valley, which is the driving aspect of its status as a center of American industry.

Cupertino

Appealing Natural Settings

Before Silicon Valley became known for its technology industry, it was famed for its scenic landscape. While much has changed in the area, it retains much of the natural beauty that its reputation was initially built on. It is a lush landscape with valleys, vineyards, forests, and hills, with some excellent places for hiking and outdoor exploration.

If you are looking for a top-notch destination for hiking, head to the Santa Cruz Mountains. This area has scenic trails with incredible views, as well as waterfalls, caves, and more. To see the incredible plant life that is local to the area, a visit to Edgewood Park and Natural Preserve provides a stunning spring flower showcase. Numerous beautiful outdoor locations make Silicon Valley an ideal home for nature lovers.

Appealing Towns & Cities

Silicon Valley is a large and diverse region with cities and towns that fit various preferences. San Jose is the biggest city in Silicon Valley, a major urban center with appealing architecture and historical attractions. It is renowned for its sunny weather and is where many of the biggest companies in the area are located.

Palo Alto is another important part of the Silicon Valley economy. Palo Alto hosts

Stanford University, which has given Palo Alto a reputation as a center of innovation. It also has desirable food and shopping options. Cupertino is a scenic city known as the headquarters of Apple. It has ranches and farmland around the city, excellent hiking trails, preserved historic buildings, and renowned local schools. These are only some of the region’s many appealing towns and cities

Cultural Attractions

Silicon Valley is a place with a vibrant culture. From an incredible food scene to renowned museums and a compelling history, there is much to enjoy in the area. Silicon Valley is home to a huge international population, reflected in its food scene. There are many international offerings, ranging from Polynesian and Taiwanese cuisine to Mexican and Persian flavors.

The many museums in Silicon Valley reflect the area’s role as a hub for innovation. The NASA Ames Research Center is a massive NASA complex that is open for tours to the public, and the Computer History Museum is a fascinating look at the recent development of this all-important technology. Both sites can be found in Mountain View. In San Jose, the Tech Museum of Innovation showcases the major growths in technology we’ve seen, particularly spotlighting the role of Silicon Valley.

Five Tips For Creating An Extra Cozy Home

During the winter, colder temperatures or stormy weather encourage people to spend their time inside rather than outdoors. To find maximum comfort in your home during this time, it needs to be as cozy as possible. But how do you maximize the coziness of your house, making it a place where you and your visitors can feel warm and at ease?

Let’s look at five tips to make your home as cozy as possible this season.

People typically immediately notice lighting when they enter a home, and spreading out your lighting is an essential part of setting up a comfortable atmosphere. A single overhead light can feel uncomfortable. You should have lighting coming from multiple sources, such as candles, lamps, and overhead lights.

Winter is a time of the year when trees lose their leaves and plants wilt away. This can be depressing, but inside you control the conditions. Plants and flowers can brighten a space during the colder seasons and evoke comfort and life. Organic material has a soothing effect on people, so make sure you are sprucing up your rooms with greenery and flowers. Plants and flowers are great accessorizing materials for a home that add lush colors and pleasant scents, not to mention help in purifying the air you breathe. In the cold months, they go a long way toward providing comfort and calm.

When thinking of the word “cozy,” the brain typically goes to “warmth.” That is the right inclination, and homeowners should seek to create a warm environment while maintaining a chic design. Tile and wood floors can get cold in the winter, so rugs can provide warmth while adding colors to a room. Pillows and blankets have a similar effect to rugs and will help you feel snug and cozy when relaxing on the couch. These additions make a home more comfortable and add touches of color and texture.

Color is a defining part of ambiance. Every color evokes a different feeling, whether the frosty cold of a deep blue or the lushness of an emerald green. When considering the coziness of a space, emphasize warm colors that will bring feelings of comfort and ease. Reds, oranges, browns, and yellows all provide feelings of warmth. This isn’t to say that you should repaint your walls with these colors, but adding texture to your room with decor that has warm colors will make a big impact.

Have you ever walked into a room with blank walls, and it gave you an uncomfortable, sterile feeling? To make a space feel lived-in and comfortable, make sure your living area has art and photos on the wall that add personality and help fill up the space. Many homeowners can evoke a feeling of comfort by covering their walls with art, decor, and photographs, making the room feel fuller and more inviting.

BriteLight A Light Switch The Magic is Inside

Wow, Tom you're lighting is really cool!

Yes, our new BriteLight switches know what to do automatically and adapt, so we don’t have to bother.

How does it work?

Check this out...Each switch has up to 8 built-in sensors, providing real-tme information on room conditions via the app. You can even monitor multiple locations, so we installed them in my mom's house and our vacation home.

So, you’ve got greater peace of mind now? Definitely. We're using the app's optional DIY home security service that notfies you of an intruder's location with the ability to trigger strobing lights to deter them. For my mom, BriteLight supports Aging in Place tracking that doesn't invade her privacy, so we're all feeling more comfortable about her safety.

So, does it take a lot to get this set up?

Just mesh WiFi and BriteLight switches. You can contact their friendly sales team, they will help you plan your project and provide a free estimate.

All from just a switch. Now that’s Magical!
