Desirable neighborhood in Silicon Valley

At the foreground of the Silicon Valley is Mountain View West, a bustling neighborhood near the center of the city of Mountain View. This neighborhood is mostly home to a mix of residential properties, including apartments, townhouses and single-family homes. “It’s a great city to be in for those looking for a lot of space,” says Spencer Hsu, a local Realtor with eXp Realty. “It’s central to Silicon Valley, and it’s beautiful despite not being as big as some of the surrounding areas like San Jose, but it maintains the Bay Area diversity.” Mountain View West is home to several park areas, including Rengstroff Park and Klein Park. Residents can also walk to the large San Antonio shopping mall, which features big box stores like Walmart and Target.
