Mountain View is bordered on all sides by Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, and Los Altos. The city also shares a side with civil-military Moffett Field, whose hangers can be seen where Highways 237 and 101 intersect.

Continuing north along Highway 101 is where you’ll find Mountain View exits leading to some of Silicon Valley’s–and the world’s–largest high technology companies, including innovative search engine giant Google. And it makes sense. The first silicon semiconductor device company was based in Mountain View; and thus, Silicon Valley was born.

Still, it’s true. Googlers can always be seen throughout Mountain View. But they’re not the only ones. LinkedIn, Intuit, and many more companies are also located within the city’s borders. And public transportation makes it even easier to get here. The Mountain View station connects Caltrain and VTA light rail and bus, which makes travel throughout the Bay Area (and to work) quick and convenient.

But why leave? Mountain View is quite the entertainment hub. From concerts at the Shoreline Ampitheatre to productions at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts, there’s no shortage of things to do. Pre- or post-event plans can include a stroll through pedestrian-friendly Castro Street downtown. The street is lined by restaurants and shops, and is also home to the annual Mountain View Art & Wine Festival.

Mountain View homes for sale include condominiums and single-family homes. In many ways, Mountain View is suburbia with bicycle friendly neighborhoods and plenty of growing and established families. Students can attend schools in several districts: Mountain View-Whisman, Los Altos, and Mountain View-Los Altos Union High School District.
