De Anza Properties is a privately held, family-owned real estate investment and property management firm headquartered in Los Altos, California. Founded in 1966, the company operates a portfolio of 23 apartment communities across 9 cities in California and Utah, totaling 2,699 residential units. The firm operates as a full-service platform, providing investment sales, leasing, advisory services, property management, and financing services with a primary focus on multifamily apartment communities. The company's investment strategy centers on acquiring and managing multifamily properties in urban and suburban locations with access to employment centers in supply-constrained markets. De Anza Properties employs a long-term ownership approach, creating value through property renovations, amenity upgrades, and operational efficiency rather than short-term dispositions. The firm is owned and operated by its principals and maintains a lean organizational structure with approximately 29-44 employees. De Anza Properties' portfolio is concentrated in four primary metropolitan markets: the San Francisco Bay Area (including South Bay and San Jose), Los Angeles (including West Hollywood), San Diego (North County-Escondido), and Salt Lake City, Utah. This geographic footprint exposes the company to California's coastal markets and Utah's growing urban centers. The San Francisco Bay Area represents the largest concentration of assets, with multiple properties located in high-barrier-to-entry Silicon Valley communities including Cupertino, Mountain View, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, and Los Altos.
