What Los Altos Hills does
to a dryer.

The Ninth Circuit upheld the town's one-dwelling-per-lot rule and its minimum lot size in 1974.

Los Altos Hills had 3,098 housing units at the 2020 census, 7.2% of them vacant.

The town contracts with Santa Clara County for police and fire services.

Gated communities

Community landscaping standards can hide dryer vent hoods behind shrubs or under decorative trim, which keeps them tidy and also easy to forget. A hood that exhausts into a planting bed collects debris and moisture quickly.

Designed laundry rooms

Homes with specified kitchens usually have laundry rooms planned the same way, with the dryer raised on a pedestal or set into a cabinet run, sometimes behind a door that matches the millwork. That tidy installation leaves little room to pull the machine out for service.

Family houses

Many family homes keep the laundry in a garage, basement or mudroom, with the dryer vent running through a wall or up into the attic. Children's clothes, pet hair and full loads fill that vent more quickly than a small household would.
