Mountain View’s home styles and what buyers can expect to pay
Mountain View has a variety of single-family and multifamily homes along its tree-lined streets. Modest cottages and ranch-style houses make up the most common designs, with some featuring modern updates and renovations. Over 70% of residents rent their homes, but the area also offers a good opportunity for aspiring homeowners. “If you want to buy a house, you can get something pretty cheap,” says Paul Lambert, a Realtor at Herrington and Company LLC with 25 years of experience. “The average house around here is up in the $400,000s, whereas in Mountain View, you could get lucky and get something in the $200,000s.” Most single-family homes range in price from the low $100,000s to the upper $300,000s.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
