"Los Altos, along with its suburban sibling Los Altos Hills, is where the team's owner, president and head coach all currently reside. The leafy hamlet in the Peninsula foothills has a long history with the team. Quarterback Brock Purdy previously rented a home in Los Altos (and is now in the process of joining its country club) as did former quarterbacks Steve Young and John Brodie. Two bygone coaches - Steve Mariucci and George Seiffert - called the area home, too."
"Some locals shared with SFGATE how they'll routinely see the team's principal owner, Jed York; its president of football operations, John Lynch; and head coach, Kyle Shanahan, out on the trails or in the church pews on a Sunday in the offseason. Bob Garner, on a morning stroll with his grandson, said he's passed by Shanahan's house and it's easy to tell which one belongs to the coach: red and white flowers are planted outside."
Five days before the 49ers-Eagles playoff matchup, downtown Los Altos showed little visible team support. No flag decals or fans in team gear were evident, with only an older woman in a 49ers hat observed. Los Altos and Los Altos Hills host the team's owner, president and head coach. The towns have a long history with the franchise, including current and former quarterbacks and coaches who have lived there. Locals report routinely seeing Jed York, John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan on trails or at church during the offseason. The area's discreet, respectful culture toward residents helps maintain privacy for executives while signaling quiet local appreciation.
