Education is the main draw for this Belmont neighborhood
Centered around the private Notre Dame de Namur University, Belmont’s Antique Forest Homes neighborhood is equally known for its strong education and its in-demand housing. “Belmont in general, it’s the schools,” says local Realtor Jim Tierney, founder and co-owner of NetEquity Real Estate. “All of the schools there are good, including the high school.” While Antique Forest Homes’ location among the tranquil foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains secludes it from the action of nearby Redwood City, its location along the main thoroughfare, El Camino Real, puts this community within a 20-mile commute from San Francisco, providing residents with both a quiet atmosphere and an easy commute.
Notre Dame High School attracts students from all over the peninsula to come here.

Vintage and modern home styles mix
As its name implies, Antique Forest Homes is a community where century-old homes mix with residences built from the 1940s to the 2010s. “Most people are buying homes and updating them,” says Tierney. “For the most part, you have a lot of updated homes.” Tudor Revival, Craftsman, ranch-style and postmodern designs contribute to this neighborhood’s diversity of aesthetics. Properties built from the 1920s until 2000 have sold for between $1.03 million and $3.2 million, while those built from 2000 to 2017 vary in price from $1.9 million to $3.7 million. Condos along El Camino Real sell for around $500,000 and $1.4 million. Antique Forest Homes’ streets can be steep due to the hilly terrain, and others offer commanding views of the Bay Area. Sidewalk access enables residents to take scenic strolls with bay views as a backdrop.

Award-winning education at Belmont schools
Central Elementary School has an A rating from Niche and a National Blue Ribbon Award, while Ralston Intermediate School also receives an A. The A-plus-rated Carlmont High School, which was featured in the biographical film “Dangerous Minds,” offers more than impressive test scores. Innovative programs like this school’s Biotechnology Institute prepare learners for their future careers. Notre Dame de Namur University, founded in 1851, was the first college in the state to grant bachelor's degrees to women. Recently, this college has begun to transition towards hybrid learning for graduate school students only, selling its campus to Stanford University.
