Hillside, located between Highway 17 and the Los Gatos Creek corridor, is a residential and hillside Monte Sereno neighborhood with winding lanes and a canopy of mature oaks. The character concentrates around the Los Gatos Boulevard and Lark Avenue junction, where small storefronts, coffee counters, and everyday errands set a low-key rhythm. Architecture leans toward custom ranch homes and contemporary rebuilds tucked behind hedges and long driveways. Views open toward the Santa Cruz Mountains, with pockets of quiet cul-de-sacs stepping up the slopes. The nearby Los Gatos Creek Trail frames a walk-and-ride routine through shade and open sky. Community touchstones include the Mountain Winery’s concert lawn, the Los Gatos Theatre marquee, and the Los Gatos Farmers’ Market.
