Known as the Gateway to the Central Coast, Morgan Hill is only 15 miles from the majestic Pacific coast. It offers its residents an abundance of wide-open space and views of the Santa Cruz Mountains. This family-oriented community provides big city amenities while maintaining a small-town atmosphere. It has become a popular bedroom community to Silicon Valley, just a quick drive south of San Jose.
