San Jose is within 25 miles to the South, San Francisco within 25 miles to the North. Half-moon bay (the coast) within 25 miles to the west, and Berkley/Oakland are within 25 miles to the east. Napa is just an additional 25 miles from there. Belmont is a great location. Nice green hills, LOTS of deer, great schools and friendly people. House are expensive but worth it for a lifetime

...if one is lucky and rich enough to avoid the native populace. Belmont lies in a corrador south of the race track where the proud tradition of vice continues to this day. Close to the freeway exit (and in general east of El Camino Real) drug taking, drug dealing and drug manufacturing (especially methamphetamine) abound. Most folk either find this acceptable, afraid and unwilling to do much and generally hostile to anyone who finds white trash undesirable. The police department is no aggressive in this area (and others, one supposes). Every town has its mix of snobs and yobs-some have clear demarkations. I'm not advocating better "segregation", but rather providing a cautionary tale: Belmont has not "turned the corner" with gentrification is is not likely to in the near future.
