"Good For Singles"
- DirtyHarry
Skirting Highway 101, North Whisman has some condo creep of the kind that has completely taken over Whisman Station, but it also has a sprinkling of homes as well.
As far as Mountain View goes, t...
"The Millionaires Next Door"
- DirtyHarry
My younger brother lives here, so I often find myself here visiting him. The Blossom Valley neighborhood is probably best described as a nice, somewhat upscale version of the typical California neigh...
"The High Cost of Average"
- DirtyHarry
Gemello is one of those comfortingly average neighborhoods. Think Ranch Homes, pick-up trucks, bird feeders and flags. The kind of neighborhood that a lot of us grew up in in the 70’s, say. Very pl...
"Mountain Views Eichlers"
- DirtyHarry
Unlike Palo Alto, Mountain View is not as well known for Eichlers. In fact, in most Mountain View neighborhoods you are unlikely to find these homes named after that iconic Bay Area architect. Not Mo...
"Tiny Cookie Cutter City"
- DirtyHarry
Castro City is, ironically I suppose, barely even big enough to be considered a neighborhood—much less a “city.” It is just 4 square blocks from Rengstorff to College Ave. and is made up of fairly un...
"Mobile Homes and a Mix of New and Old"
- DirtyHarry
This is the neighborhood right at the point where the Steven’s Creek Freeway meets El Camino Real. At the far northeastern end where this intersection happens, there is Sahara Homes, a trailer park r...
"Historic Homes and New Homes on the Way"
- DirtyHarry
Waverly is the neighborhood just two blocks over from my brother’s neighborhood. It is just north of Mountain View High School which is really outstanding (consistently holds an API of 10—the highes...
"Really Nice Mediterrean Style Homes"
- DirtyHarry
Although a touch on the homogenous side, the Cuernavaca neighborhood, on the far eastern end of Mountain View, is pretty attractive. It feels a little like Florida to me, with palms and manicured law...
"Another Overpriced Mountain View Neighborhood"
- DirtyHarry
On the northern end of Saint Francis Acres is one of those prototypical suburban strip malls with a CVS Pharmacy as the anchor and a bagel store, Blockbuster Video rental (does anyone still rent from...
"Townhomes, Apartments an Trailer Parks"
- DirtyHarry
Right on the border with Sunnyvale, Sylvan Park is a mix of newer upscale homes, well-kept Ranch houses, condos, apartments and trailer parks. Or, to put it another way: a little bit of everything in...
"Cal Trains and Condos"
- DirtyHarry
The Crossings is home to the San Antonio Cal Trains station which makes it a major Mountain View hub for commuters.
The rest of this neighborhood is one of those monochromatic condo complexes that...
"People Boxes, Sushi and Alibis"
- DirtyHarry
Shoreline West is the neighborhood just to the west of Old Mountain View. If you are looking for a relatively affordable neighborhood in Mountain View, this is where you are likely to find it. Now, l...
"Walkable Condos"
- DirtyHarry
I should start off by saying that I generally am not a fan of homogeneity in neighborhood design. I usually hate those neighborhoods where every house is built to look like the one next to it and only...
"The Best Mountain View Has to Offer"
- DirtyHarry
Cuesta Park is really the heart of Mountain View for me. This is where you will find everything from El Camino Hospital to some of the classic older homes of Mountain View.
Let’s start with the ho...
"Gorgeous but Ritsy"

This was an awesome neighborhood in Mountain View. I have always enjoyed looking at big impressive looking houses. This entire neighborhood was filled with them, so I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I woul...
