Steve Jobs Garage, Historic resource in Los Altos, United States.
The Steve Jobs Garage is a single-story residential house on Crist Drive in Los Altos with white walls accented by red brick and a standard two-car garage. The home sits in a quiet residential neighborhood and looks much like other houses in the area from that era.
The building became significant in 1976 when the first 50 Apple computers were hand-assembled here. This hands-on beginning remains central to the company's origin story.
This location shaped the idea of a garage as a birthplace for technology ventures, an image that still echoes in entrepreneurial circles today. The story draws people interested in how modern computing began in unexpected places.
The private property can only be viewed from the street, and warning signs are posted. Photography from outside is possible, but visitors should respect the privacy and stay on the public sidewalk.
The street address changed from 11161 to 2066 when Los Altos annexed the land from Santa Clara County in 1983. This administrative shift is little-known and often missed when researching historical addresses.
