The neighborhood

Lakeside, Los Altos Hills homes for sale in a storied setting.

Lakeside anchors the southern tip of Los Altos Hills, bordered by Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve to the west and Los Altos to the east, with the Los Altos Golf and Country Club just across I-280. The neighborhood takes its name from Quarry Lake — the former Neary Quarry, which supplied the stone and gravel for I-280 and Highway 101, turned into a private lake within the luxury Quarry Hills development.

Homes here range from large new constructions to older single- and double-story ranch homes, each shaped by the hilly topography. Rolling emerald hills dotted with playhouses, horse structures and chicken coops give the neighborhood its easy country rhythm, while Cory Lake and Juan Prado Mesa Preserve add to the scenery.

A sense of place

The lake at the heart of it.

Lakeside is where Los Altos Hills keeps its country manners. Neighbors ride out toward Westwind Barn, kids head to St. Nicholas Catholic School around the corner, and the hum of downtown Los Altos — Draeger’s, coffee shops, boutiques — is minutes down the hill. The neighborhood feels rural and private, yet the commute along I-280 keeps the whole valley within reach.
