Behind large ranch-style gates that apparently never close, there lies an unpretentious neighborhood of mostly single story homes on sprawling half acre lots. Once a horse ranch, the area just off Kennedy Road harkens to a more rustic time. Welcome to Surrey Farms. This is not a neighborhood that screams "new money", though it is so highly desireable that most homes cost in the range of $2,000,000 or more - if one happens to be available when you're house-hunting. What is the mystique of this much sought-after area? Part of it may be that there is just one main entrance to the neighborhood., So there is no "through traffic". The streets are fairly quiet and it's an easy place to let kids ride bikes and walk dogs, or to push strollers and talk with neighbors while walking. Another element is the modest nature of it. Whereas many neighborhoods in California seem to cram large homes on small lots, this area is more full of trees and yard than structure. It seems to be a less hurried pace. Additionally, Surrey Farms is "close to town", has the prized Los Gatos Schools, but feels more countrified. It feels away without being away. Besides the price, is there anything a potential buyer should worry about when purchasing a home in Surrey Farms? In some parts of the neighborhood, there may be a little Kennedy Road noise. Overall, though, it's not bad. In others, there can be sounds floating over from Hillbrook School (a private school located at the end of Marchmont Drive). Hillbrook has lots of acreage for students and horses, though, so this is not much of an issue.
