The town's zoning has required a one-acre minimum lot since incorporation in 1956, and it limits each parcel to a single primary dwelling, which effectively bans multifamily housing townwide. ## What Los Altos Hills does to a home appliance. A 1974 ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit upheld the town's large-lot zoning as constitutional, cementing the low-density pattern that still defines the community. Los Altos Hills has no commercial zoning, no post office and no library, keeping it an entirely residential town carved from the former Rancho San Antonio de Padua and Rancho La Purisima Concepcion land grants. As of the 2020 census the town's 3,098 housing units were 89.7 percent owner-occupied, one of the higher owner-occupancy rates on the Peninsula.
