If you're ever in Cupertino, really make the effort to walk from the original Apple headquarters, the home of Steve Jobs' parents and the garage where it was created Apple, to Apple Park. When you realize that a person was able to build this in one single life and you will see with your own eyes, from where, where Apple moved, you will have something to do to remember to keep your mouth shut. I had the opportunity to experience it by walking around the building Apple Park and garage in which Apple started, it can easily fit, for example, in one of the hundreds of toilets that are in Apple Park.

The house where Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak built their first branded computer Apple Computers, has been designated a "history resource" by the Los Altos Historical Commission. That is, as a place that built the history of the given area, in this case Silicon Valley. An interesting fact is that the house still belongs to Steve Jobs' sister, i.e. Patricia Jobs. However, she does not use it, but rents it out, and considering that the house is a relatively popular tourist attraction, it is not surprising that there are no-trespassing signs around the property and mirror films in all the windows. After all, we visited Steve Jobs' garage in the article Steve Jobs' garage: we went to see where it all began!
Having a house designated as a historic resource is quite a problem that anyone who owns a historic or otherwise significant building is familiar with. For any renovation or anything that interferes with the design of the house, the house is now subject to the need to get everything approved by the local authorities, just as if it were a historical monument. The committee that voted to give the house this status wanted it to be preserved as it was originally designed and as it looked when Jobs assembled the first computers in it.

According to zillow.com, which deals with real estate prices, the house is currently worth $3, with the fact that this price does not reflect the historical value, but is only the average price of a house of this size in the given area. You can then earn $537 a month in rent. If you wanted to finance the house with a mortgage, the average monthly payment would be $900. Of course, you will now think that the salaries in Cupertino are different than for example in the Czech Republic, then believe me that buying a house here is really difficult even for local people. The average annual salary in California is $6499, which means that even if you didn't spend a single dollar on anything other than paying off the house, you'd be earning 23 years on the average salary for that house.
