Mountain View
has several different communities each with its own
special charm and appeal - and homes. Here are the
main communities:
Blossom Valley
This wonderful little community is comprised of four
smaller neighborhoods - Varsity Park, Blossom Valley
Estates, Springer Meadows and Gest Ranch. They
are located on either side of Cuestoa Drive between
Springer and Road and Miramonte Avenue. These
neighborhoods were built in the 1950's on what was
previously orchards. There are small community groups
within the neighborhoods and the communities are generally
tight-knit. Parts of Blossom Valley report to the
highly-rated Los Altos school district. If you want

Park This popular part of Mountain View has many

Old
Mountain View, or Downtown Mountain View is what the
city is best-known for. The center of downtown Mountain View is Castro Street which is 8
blocks long and has over 80 wonderful restaurants.
Many of them have European-style outdoor seating which
makes the downtown area a very popular destination on warm
summer nights. The neighborhoods surrounding the
Castro Street area are just fantastic with many
hundred-year old houses with a lot of charm and character.
The downtown area has been featured in national
publications as a very walkable community. There is
a train station, a bus depot, all sorts of shops and
restaurants as well as many small parks and the very large
Eagle Park. Many
streets in the downtown area have annual block parties
where residents get together to have some fun. If

originally sold for under $8,000.

This part of Mountain View was developed in the 1960's and
has many 4 and 5 bedroom homes. For many years
there was a large remaining farm along Grant Road that
locals called the "Pumpkin Patch" because of it's
wonderful Halloween pumpkin sales and hayrides. It
was recently sold off for development but has not yet been
developed. Within the Waverly Park
neighborhood there is an actual park called Cooper Park
that is very popular. The Waverly Park neighborhood
