Mountain View addresses are primarily served by Mountain View Whisman School District (K–8) and Mountain View–Los Altos Union High School District (9–12), with Mountain View High and Los Altos High as the comprehensive high schools. Some pockets may map to adjacent districts. Because boundaries evolve, always verify a specific property’s current assignment with the district. If schools are central to your search, we’ll curate listings inside your preferred boundaries and confirm the mapping before you tour.
Mountain View is built for flexible movement. US-101, SR-85, and SR-237 connect quickly across the Peninsula and South Bay; I-280 is also within practical reach. For rail, choose the Mountain View Transit Center (Caltrain + Light Rail) or San Antonio Station depending on your route and schedule. A well-marked bike network links neighborhoods to downtown, parks, and employment centers—many daily errands are realistic by bike or on foot from central pockets.
Weeknights and weekends revolve around Castro Street and city parks. Downtown hosts seasonal events, outdoor dining, and live music; nearby, the Center for the Performing Arts, the Computer History Museum, and Shoreline provide culture, trails, lake activities, golf, and summer concerts.

Groceries range from specialty markets to full-service options, and fitness studios are scattered across town—so your weekly routine can be streamlined and close to home.
“Condo” and “townhome” describe appearance and legal form—both matter for costs and responsibilities:
We’ll confirm legal form, the maintenance matrix (who fixes what), master-policy insurance coverage, and community rules—pets, rentals, architectural approvals—so you know exactly what you’re buying before you write.
Smart diligence keeps surprises low:
The attached market in Mountain View is typically active and competitive, especially near Castro Street, San Antonio, and transit. Pricing reflects micro-location (walkability, quiet interior street vs. corridor), building condition and amenities, HOA health, and the quality of recent updates. Newer construction and thoroughly remodeled units command premiums; well-located classic units with remodel potential attract buyers who want to customize. If you’re early in the process, we’ll prepare a custom market brief—building-by-building comps, absorption trends by neighborhood, and a private tour plan synced to your timeline.
Old Mountain View offers the strongest walkability to dining, cafés, and the Mountain View station. Shoreline West and pockets near San Antonio also make quick trips realistic. We’ll target blocks that balance proximity with the building style, noise level, and parking/storage you prefer—and we can plan tours by bike to test routes in real time.
You’ll find concentrations near San Antonio Center, along El Camino Real corridors, and in North Whisman / Whisman Station planned communities. If you want elevator access and single-level living, we’ll focus on downtown-adjacent condo buildings.
Yes—Monta Loma and parts of Cuesta Park include Eichler and Eichler-influenced designs with post-and-beam structure, open plans, and glassy indoor–outdoor flow. We’ll review radiant systems, roofing/insulation, and window specs to balance comfort, efficiency, and preservation.
Often. Private-garage townhomes frequently allow Level-2 charging with HOA approval and panel capacity. In condo-form buildings, feasibility depends on shared EV infrastructure, deeded/assigned space location, and the HOA approval process. We’ll confirm costs, permissions, and timelines before you commit.
Dues commonly fund exterior maintenance, landscaping, common-area utilities/cleaning, professional management, master-policy insurance, and amenity upkeep (elevators, fitness rooms, pools, courtyards) depending on the building. We’ll compare multiple HOAs side-by-side so you know exactly what’s included—and what isn’t.
Most HOAs restrict short-term rentals (e.g., minimum 30-day leases). Policies vary by community and can change via board vote; we’ll verify current rules, enforcement history, and any pending changes before you write.
