Monte Sereno

Monte Sereno is a city in Santa Clara County, California, located in the hills south of San Jose. The community features residential neighborhoods with large properties and wooded areas that maintain a rural character.

Monte Sereno was planned as an upscale residential community in the early 20th century and has developed as a private enclave since then. The city was officially incorporated in 1960 and maintained its secluded location and exclusive nature.

This location is best reached by car, as public transportation is limited and areas are spread out. The best time to explore is during warmer months, when pathways are easily accessible and the landscape appears most green.

This city is known for being one of the wealthiest and most private communities in Silicon Valley. Many visitors do not know that the area where it sits was once part of larger estates used by wealthy families for their private country homes.
