Parker Ranch is a planned development located in Saratoga, California. Development began in 1980 along with the association's incorporation. Lots were first sold in 1982, and the association had its first homeowner-composed board in 1987. In 1988, the City of Saratoga accepted an offer of dedication to have Parker Ranch officially join the network of public city streets. Law enforcement is provided by the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office.

The neighborhood is a beautiful mixture of semi-rural and suburban living. Numerous wild animals live in the area and can often be seen by residents and visitors alike. It is not uncommon to see deer, coyotes, condors, hawks, and signs of the occasional mountain lion. Despite the close proximity of nature, residents have access to all utilities associated with urban living, short drives to grocery stores, and other conveniences.

The Parker Ranch Homeowners Association is a non-profit corporation formed under the Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act. The Association is composed of 76 households, assesses annual dues, and holds an annual member meeting to conduct neighborhood business. The Association is governed by a Board of Directors, whom are elected from among the residents.
