Belmont

Built around a station on the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad, Belmont grew into a residential city on California’s San Francisco Peninsula. It occupies the lower slopes of the Santa Cruz Mountains and reaches toward San Francisco Bay, placing wooded open space close to the peninsula’s urban corridor. Waterdog Lake and its surrounding trails are a local focal point for walking and cycling. Ralston Hall, the 1868 country home commissioned by banker William Chapman Ralston, preserves a link to the peninsula’s 19th-century estates. Belmont’s compact downtown follows El Camino Real, the historic route that runs along much of coastal California.
