Mountain View Condos

Mountain View is located at the northern end of the valley where it begins to break into the peninsula area headed toward San Francisco. The northern half of a division of the land grant to Don Mariano Castro, Mountain View actually resisted the urbanization longer than most of Silicon Valley, despite being, perhaps, a part of the cradle of the high tech revolution. As late as the late 1960s, you could pick strawberries in Mountain View. The high tech explosion, however, began with Lockheed next to Moffat Field and Fairchild Camera and Instrument in Mountain View.  

Mountain View is a family friendly, upper middle class area with one of the most interesting and intriguing shopping districts in Northern California. Castro Street is a pedestrian friendly shopping district with many unique stores, and al fresco dining, where many restaurants leave the outdoor seating out 24/7. Restaurants are among the best and the atmosphere is unique, relaxed and friendly.  

Condominium living in Mountain View is likely to be newer than the older Valley cities, however not as new as the rapidly developing high tech areas. It tends to be slightly more family oriented than the singles areas, but more in a starter home/condo vein. The average condo size is smaller than family committed areas. Apartment conversions to condominium space is common and amenities are not as plentiful as in newer condominium developments. 

Your Mountain View condominium is likely to be relatively new and more residentially oriented than the singles oriented, loaded with more condo amenities than are available in other cities. Mountain View caters to an upper middle class, younger family or young couples. 

Mountain View is located at the end of 237, and served by the 85 Freeway as well as the Central Expressway and El Camino Real, it's northern border contains Highway 101 (Bayshore Freeway.)
