Neighborhood Spotlight: Belwood and Belgatos

Nov. 21, 2006
Categorized in: Los Gatos Neighborhoods

Belwood of Los Gatos, Belgatos and Surmont areas of Los Gatos

 

On the far eastern end of Los Gatos lies a friendly and active neighborhood of about 500 homes: Belwood of Los Gatos, and also the Belgatos and Surmont neighborhoods - all of whom now share a cabaña and the town's huge neighborhood park.  At the heart of the community is Belgatos Park, an expanse of open space with places for barbequing, swinging, tossing a frisbee, hiking, walking, running, and riding horses.  A second anchor for Belwood is the cabaña, with a pool, basketball courts, lawn area and indoor party space.

The homes in the Belwood, Belgatos and Surmont neighborhoods are generally unpretentious. Mostly ranch style homes, some two-story, they vary from 1800 - 3000 sf (mostly - some are larger), they sit on 8000 - 10,000 sf lots and range from about 25 - 40 years old. They are not
McMansions and they don't scream "I am made of money", though they cost about $1.1 million to $1,600,000 in an interior location - so they aren't cheap.  Most of the streets meander and are tree-lined. People of all ages are seen walking, pushing strollers, running - anything just to be out and about in the neighborhood.

This is where my family and I live and make our home and we love it. Turnover here is low, because people who move here decide to stay here.

If you would like more information on the Belgatos and Belwood and Surmont neighborhoods of east Los Gatos, please see my website dedicated to this very pretty corner of town:
