Monte Sereno is approximately 50 miles southeast of San Francisco and just minutes from the heart of Silicon Valley. Because of the city’s beauty, location and superior schools many Silicon Valley executives have chosen Monte Sereno as their home. The city was established in the early 1900’s as a rural agricultural community. The area was dotted with ranch houses, orchards, dairies and livestock, and the mountain slopes of the southern portion of the city contained summer homes, recreational properties and a few large estates. The beauty and tranquility of the area attracted artists and writers looking for a peaceful and inspirational place to pursue their craft. A few points of interest are the home in which American author John Steinbeck wrote the Grapes of Wrath and the site of the Billy Jones Rail Road.
