Commentary on real estate and homes, area updates, park news, information, and more on the Belwood of Los Gatos, Belgatos, and Surmont neighborhoods by Mary Pope-Handy, a Belwood resident and Realtor.
How's the Market in Belwood, Belgatos and Surmont?
Homes in Belwood are selling at the same slow pace as most of the rest of Los Gatos.
Homes that are in top condition and priced well with no "issues" are selling decently. Others are sitting. At the moment (3/19) there is only one home available, two which are sales pending, and two more poised to come on the market in the next month or so.
Did you know that you can see the current list of available homes in the Surmont, Belgatos, and Belwood areas of Los Gatos on this website? Additionally, information on the expired listings and the sold and closed listings are here too. Just click on the "Homes Info" tab to stay current.
Graffitti in Belwood and Belgatos area? Unfortunately, yes. Report it!
Have you seen the newly arrived graffitti in the Belwood (and Belgatos, and Surmont) areas of Los Gatos?
It's easy to get it cleaned up: just phone or email it in!
About a week or so ago, Jim and I were out walking the dog when we saw some tagging on Harwood Road and I snapped some pics and emailed it in to the Los Gatos police. Within a couple of hours, volunteers had it all as good as new!
What really surprised me, though, was that the next day, Daniel Garza of NBC 11 phoned me and asked to do a t.v. interview with me. It was broadcast on the 7pm news.
The next day, our letter carrier, Randy, told us that there was more tagging on Belvue - so I checked it out, found one spot on a sign and another on a sidewalk, and again emailed it in.
<h2>So what can you do if you find graffitti in Los Gatos?</h2> Email: police@losgatosca.gov or Phone: (408) 354-8600 Give them the exact address so that they can ask the kindly volunteers to take care of it (and if you have a phone handy, snap a pic and send it along too - though that's not necessary).
Let's keep an eye out so that we can keep our neighborhood clean!

Farmer's Market - Every Sunday - 8am to 1pm Every Sunday, in every type of weather, you can meander through the
town's Farmer's Market at Town Plaza Park. It's a great place to get
wonderful produce and flowers and meals/snacks too. (The crepes are
fabulous.) Dogs are NOT allowed into the stalls area but may be in the
park, adjacent to the action.
