Neighborhood Spotlight: Belwood and Belgatos |
Belwood 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 $1.2 million 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.
