Loyola is a census-designated place in Santa Clara County, California, United States.

It was ranked as one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in America, with homes ranging from cottages to sprawling ranch houses and mansions.

The neighborhood is named for Ignatius of Loyola, a Spanish saint and founder of the Jesuits.

If the plan had come to fruition, the university would have been located in the area of the present-day golf course on Country Club Drive.

The Loyola project succumbed to delays and financing problems stemming from the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.
