Belmont Country Club Homes and Neighborhood Guide
Also known as Country Club, Country Club Estates, Belle Monte
Belmont neighborhood guide
Belmont Country Club sits north of Ralston Avenue and west of El Camino Real, rising from gentle, level blocks near the Alameda de las Pulgas into wooded hills. It is one of Belmont's best known residential areas and is close to the library, Barrett Community Center and the shops along Ralston Avenue.
The name comes from Belle Monti, an ambitious 1920s venture. The neighborhood takes its name from a country club development of the 1920s. The club did not last, and its land became the homes you see today. The city's historical inventory credits the venture as an important factor in Belmont's incorporation in 1926.
A small turreted building at Alameda de las Pulgas and Arthur Avenue, modeled on a French medieval grain silo, was the sales office for Country Club Estates. It is now a city mini park and a local landmark.
