Known for its high quality of life, excellent schools and distinctive businesses, Saratoga holds a special place in the hearts of residents and visitors alike. Saratoga has a vibrant art scene and a wealth of activities available to residents and visitors, and is home to some distinctive destinations. The local Saratoga schools continually rank as some of the best in the region from kindergarten through 12th grade.
Saratoga is known for its charming downtown village, beautiful city parks, and award-winning wineries. Saratoga has a population of approximately 30,000 and strives to maintain the elements of its natural beauty and colorful past through careful zoning policies and historic preservation.
