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.

Ranch-style, contemporary and manufactured homes in Mountain View

The neighborhood was widely developed through the 1940s and 1950s, making it suburban yet semiwalkable, with a community park and an elementary school at its center. The residential streets have single-family homes on lots with enough room for garden beds, sometimes landscaped with palm trees and fencing. The neighborhood lives up to its name and offers peekaboo views of the San Gabriel Mountains. Much of the architecture consists of ranch-style homes, with driveways and attached garages, ranging from $600,000 to $950,000. There are townhouses throughout the area priced similarly. Contemporary homes are also sprinkled throughout the neighborhood and range from $750,000 to $1.1 million. On Mountain View’s south side, Brookside Country Club Manufactured Home Community offers a communal pool and dog park. Manufactured homes here range from $100,000 to $200,000. With the neighborhood’s median sales price of $700,000, prospective buyers should keep an eye on the market. “I think it moves quickly. Everything in SoCal moves quickly, but the area is a nice option,” Garemore says. On average, homes in Mountain View spend 32 days on the market, compared to the national average of 47 days.
