If acres of farmland and large yet more affordable homes sound like a dream, then Morgan Hill is the place to be. Adjacent to Gilroy at the southern end of the Santa Clara Valley, Morgan Hill offers desirable San Jose area real estate with more acreage than most for prices lower than most; the median sale price of Morgan Hill real estate is $465,000. Unlike surrounding areas where development peaked in the 1950s, the majority of Morgan Hill’s development took place in the late 80s and 90s, so the homes have a more modern appeal. The downtown area boasts brick sidewalks with quaint shops and popular restaurants, further adding to the appeal of Morgan Hill real estate.
