Single-family homes, townhouses and condos at a variety of prices

Housing includes a mix of options, ranging from ranch-style homes with square, tree-shaded front yards to high-density developments. Locals enjoy proximity to upscale communities like Saratoga and Cupertino, without as high a price tag. “The further west and closer to Cupertino you go, the higher the housing prices get,” says Saundra Leonard, a local Realtor with Keller Williams and a Bay Area native. Single-family homes in Castlemont were mostly built in the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s, ranging from $1.4 million to $2.6 million. Townhomes from the ‘70s, ‘80s and early 2000s range from the upper $600,000s to around $1.3 million. There’s also a few low-rise condo complexes around the neighborhood’s edges, housing one, two and three-bedroom units that range from the lower $500,000s to the lower $900,000s.

Suburban lifestyle, close to grocery stores and park space

Castlemont is a quiet suburban community with wide sidewalks, making it very walkable for most residents. You can take a stroll to a nearby grocery store—There’s a Safeway and a Grocery Outlet on Winchester Boulevard—or stop for dinner at casual eateries like the family-run South Winchester BBQ. Marijane Hamann Park provides a neighborhood space with playgrounds for local families and open fields where dog-owners can take their pets. “Overall, I would say it’s a very family-oriented area – lots of parents and their kids are involved in things like community sports,” Leonard says.
