Cupertino lies in the center of California’s Silicon Valley, and is home to a thriving business community that includes many leaders in technology. Because Apple headquarters is located in the city, Cupertino is the default location for the weather and world clock applications on the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch.
The city is located at the southern end of San Francisco Bay, and is bordered by the Santa Cruz Mountains. Cupertino has a population of around 50,500. The city’s mild weather, with wet winters and dry summers, make it a comfortable retirement location for residents of assisted living in Cupertino.
