    Western Hills, Belmont
    "Belmont might be the only Bay Area town in danger of wildfire because of the large amount of open space within the city limits. Western Hills includes Waterdog Lake Park and miles of trails through the hills around it. It's a walkable neighborhood, if you don't mind the hills, to the Belmont Library, two supermarkets, several restaurants, a nursery, Starbucks, Ace Hardware and two banks. This is a pleasant, comfortable, friendly neighborhood. The big events are the annual Greek Festival on Labor Day weekend at the Greek Orthodox Church, the Christmas tree lighting, the art festival in Carlmont Shopping Center, the neighborhood's downtown, and the Waterdog Run/Walk in October. We share our perfect weather with lots of birds, squirrels and deer here. Mostly 1960s/70s subdivisions, just a handful of historic houses remain on hidden lanes."

    "Belmont has more trees, parks and trails than any other town on the peninsula. I live near the popular Water Dog Lake Trail. Carlmont Shopping Center has a nursery, a hardware store, a Lunardi's Market, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican and a breakfast cafe and the beautiful Water Dog Tavern with an outside garden with a creek running through it. The library is beautiful with a children's playground right outside."

    "Aside from the surface streets, it’s not bad. Easy access to 101, 92 and 280. Rush hour gets tricky simply because of the school traffic (multiple schools in area), but overall not bad. "
