Deal or No Deal: Belmont Views For Under $700k

And up in the hills, winding streets and Bay Views can make desirable homes downright expensive. That is, of course, until the housing market collapsed.
Belmont is by no means the cheapest place to live on the
Peninsula, but it is not Burlingame or Palo Alto either. With
good schools, convenient amenities and the aforementioned good location, the area can be a great place to lead the quiet, suburban lifestyle the Bay Area has become known for.
