Foothill, Monte Sereno, CA
Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
Key Words:
Hillside serenity, Estate‑size lots, Quick town access
Set against Monte Sereno’s lower foothills, this quiet pocket rises gently from the valley floor, giving many homes leafy canyon or ridge vistas. Lots are large and irregular, so custom residences sit well back from the road, buffered by tall pines, heritage oaks, and canyon scrub for a comfortably secluded feel. Day‐to‐day life is mostly residential, but residents are under five minutes to Vasona Lake County Park’s trails and lakeside events, as well as downtown Los Gatos shops and dining. Neighborhood kids attend coveted Los Gatos schools, and Highway 17 is just a short hop away, making commutes toward Silicon Valley surprisingly straightforward for such a tucked‐away setting. The vibe is laid‐back and upper‐end: neighbors jog quiet lanes, landscapers keep grounds immaculate, and wildlife sightings (deer, owls, the occasional fox) are common at dusk. You won’t find sidewalks or corner cafés inside the boundary, yet the trade‐off is privacy, mature greenery, and room to expand.
