Welcome to Mountain View

Spectacular scenery and residential appeal at the heart of Silicon Valley

With a dry Mediterranean climate, stunning scenery, access to nearby metropolis cities, and an ideal location right in the heart of Silicon Valley, Mountain View provides everything necessary for an incredible residential life.
 
Mountain View was incorporated in 1902 and then chartered in 1952, and its early industries included shipping fruits and grain, as well as religious book publishing. Now, corporation giants such as Google, Alphabet, Intuit, and NASA’s Ames Research Center have headquarters in Mountain View, and the city is best known for its technological innovation, as well as its preeminence in the field of aerospace and electronic industries.
 
Composed of several neighborhoods, the residential areas of Mountain View are as diverse and stimulating as the town itself. From Spanish-styled red roof houses to ranch-style housing to the mid-century modern homes in neighborhoods like Monta Loma, the architecture of Mountain View is varied enough to suit any need.
