Over the next five years downtown Morgan Hill will be undergoing significant changes to become more vibrant and active – to serve as the true hub of our community. The Morgan Hill Redevelopment Agency will invest $40 million in downtown to improve parking, lighting, landscaping, infrastructure (water/sewer/utility undergrounding), and expand public art and cultural activities.
The first major project is the Third Street Promenade. Over the last four months, Third Street has been transformed into a pedestrian-friendly thoroughfare between Monterey and Depot Streets, featuring:
- wide sidewalks
- decorative street furniture & art
- pedestrian scaled lighting
- street trees and landscaping.
It is envisioned that Third Street will become a place where Morgan Hill residents and those in surrounding communities will want to come to for dining, shopping, mingling, relaxing and enjoyment of outdoor entertainment.

The Academic Performance Index (API) is the State of California’s current solution for measuring how schools have performed academically over the past year. Granted, the system’s formula is anything but perfect – not taking into consideration the number of new less-experienced teachers replacing a growing number of retirees. Or the fact that more “creative” classroom curriculums think outside of the box, not always teaching state prescribed materials.
OK, with that being said, how did Morgan Hill’s public schools stack up?
Of the ten public elementary schools none scored below an API of 723 (1) and five of the ten achieved scores of 794 (1) to over a commendable 801 – 881(4). Terrific!!
Along with extensive city youth recreation programs – including Pony Baseball, Pop Warner Football, soccer, swimming, and SVCA basketball – complimenting our many parks and recreation facilities, our Morgan Hill schools rock too!!
Ask yourself one question:
“How valuable is my kid’s growing up environment?”
If your answer is what mine is Morgan Hill can be “THE” answer! Raise your children in the wholesome family oriented community of Morgan Hill! We did and have no regrets and many fond memories.
Where do my kids and their kids (my grandchildren) live?
Morgan Hill, silly!
Located in the east foothills above Lake Anderson, in Morgan Hill, CA lies a community like none other in Santa Clara County. Holiday Lake Estates consists of just over 500 custom homes each situated on approximately ½ to 1 acre. Most homes in Holiday are late 70’s vintage however with many homeowners updating and remodeling as of late, Holiday Lake Estates is taking on a new fresh look! Many newer customs have been built in the past decade as well.
Holiday homes are situated in a wooded riparian setting, with many homes enjoying lake frontage. Most homes boast grand views of Lake Anderson and the foothills that one can almost reach out and touch!
Holiday enjoys great community spirit as well. They share community events that range from summertime “Movies in the Meadow” to the annual picnic. Walking, jogging, and biking are daily events in Holiday Lake Estates.
Take Highway 101 to East Dunne Avenue exit – head east and follow the signs to Lake Anderson and enter this wonderful magical place just through the stone gates bearing its namesake.
“Why didn’t I know about this place before?” might occur to you as you drive through the private roads that amble through the oak groves. Oh, be careful of the wildlife because deer, quail and turkeys abound!
Who knows you might even run into Ralph, a resident for over thirty-five years! Why move when every day is a holiday!
