Tucked in the rolling hills of Silicon Valley, San Jose is the largest city in the Bay Area. It's best known for its historic downtown, with landmarks such as the Oddfellows building and its Spanish Colonial Revival structures. The Tech Museum of Innovation is downtown too, with plenty for science and technology lovers. For kids, there is the Happy Hollow Park & Zoo and the Children's Discovery Museum. Being close to the California coast, San Francisco, and the center of the technology industry has drawn people from all over the world to live here. The diverse city of over 1 million people is growing fast and is likely to matter more, nationally and internationally, with each passing year. Those amenities come at a cost, though: in the "Capital of Silicon Valley," median home prices are over $1 million and everyday goods cost 27% more than the national average.
