MOUNTAIN VIEW
Welcome to Mountain View
Mountain View sits at the heart of Silicon Valley, home to the Googleplex and a vibrant, diverse community. It pairs a lively, walkable downtown with strong parks and transit, making it a favorite for professionals who want to live close to where they work.
Local Lifestyle
The city is rich in green space and recreation. Shoreline Park and its lake sit beside the Shoreline Amphitheatre, a major concert venue, while the Stevens Creek Trail offers miles of car-free biking and walking. The Computer History Museum and nearby NASA Ames Research Center at Moffett Field reflect the area’s deep tech roots.
Dining, Shopping and Things to Do
Downtown Mountain View’s Castro Street is one of the valley’s best dining strips, lined with restaurants representing cuisines from around the world, plus cafes and a weekly farmers market by the Caltrain station. It is easy to spend an evening here without moving the car.
Schools
Mountain View is served by well-regarded public schools, including Mountain View High School within the Mountain View-Los Altos district. Strong schools and central location make it popular with families. (Please confirm the specific school assignment for any given address, as boundaries vary.)
