Welcome Notes
The Live in Los Gatos Blog is here to help you to better know the Los Gatos and Monte Sereno area, learn about the neighborhoods, homes, community events, businesses, parks, history, lifestyle, and more. Many articles will feature photos or videos of our scenic town, once dubbed “The Gem City”.
Detailed real estate market stats:
Also covered is the real estate and housing market, with statistics and trends reported often for Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, and the Los Gatos Mountains. Particular focus is on the Town of Los Gatos area, which is covered by the 95030 and 95032 zip codes. There, we’ll include a special study offering the months of inventory by price point and high school district – info you will not find anywhere else.
About, in brief:
My name is Mary Pope-Handy, and I’ve written all of the articles here (unless otherwise noted) as well as on a few other sites of mine. I’m both a Realtor here in town, with Sereno Group, and I’ve been a resident of Los Gatos since 1999. An area native, I fell in love with this place when I was sixteen years old, so am thrilled to call it home. I hope that my enthusiasm is contagious! Read more about MPH here.
