Mountain View has an affordable lifestyle in El Monte
The primary draw of Mountain View is its prices, allowing first-time buyers and those looking for budget-friendly options to settle in Greater LA. “The affordability is popular there; you get more for your money,” says broker associate Margaret Garemore, who works with Seven Gables Real Estate and has over 25 years of experience in the region. The area's median listing price is $700,000, compared to the wider city of El Monte's median of $750,000. To the naked eye, the community may look like any suburb developed in midcentury America; however it has a wide spectrum of housing available, from manufactured homes to four-bedroom contemporary homes. Valley Boulevard runs through it, which is famous throughout Los Angeles for authentic Asian and Hispanic restaurants that reflect the area’s diversity.
