Cuernavaca
Neighborhood in Mountain View, California
Santa Clara County 94040
Most of Cuernavaca's homes are within a planned community
Much of Cuernavaca’s current housing stock was developed in the 1980s and is part of a homeowners association-controlled subdivision. Homes within the subdivision are two-story, Mediterranean-inspired villas that come with clubhouse amenities like a private park area, a swimming pool and exclusive community events throughout the year. These list for a median price of $2.5 million. “It’s a safe feeling neighborhood,” says Trish Eby, who has sold homes in the community. “Cuernavaca is one of the nicest places to live in Mountain View.” Outside the homeowners association are a few four- and five-bedroom, ranch-style residences that have been modernized since their construction in the mid-1900s; these are valued between $2.1 million and $2.5 million. Buyers may also find two-bedroom condos listed between $850,000 and $1 million.Stevens Creek Trail and Cuesta Park
Cuernavaca residents looking to get some time in the sunshine can find community parks and tennis courts within the subdivision. For those without access to these parks or for anyone looking to take a jog or a bike ride through nature, the nearby Stevens Creek Trail is one option. Locals can connect to the trail via a pedestrian footbridge just off Dale Avenue; after crossing State Route 85, they can follow the paved multi-use trail for over 1 mile or take a side trail over to the shaded area at Sleeper Park. Less than 2 miles west of the neighborhood is Cuesta Park, a large community space with facilities for swimming and tennis, as well as a dog park. "My son always wants me to drive him to Braly Park," says Eduardo Silva, area resident. "It has a little mountain that he races up with his friends. When they get to the top, they push their toy cars down and see which goes the farthest." About 6 miles from Cuernavaca is Seven Seas Park. "This one is really popular — the playground is shaped like a pirate ship, and kids can get a map," Silva says. "The park staff has hidden a few treasures that kids can look for. They also have really nice tennis courts that aren't too crowded."Mountain View High scores a perfect A-plus
Children living in Cuernavaca can attend Amy Imai Elementary School and Isaac Newton Graham Middle School, which both receive scores of A on Niche. They may then transition to A-plus-rated Mountain View High, which has a 20-1 student-teacher ratio and offers more than 40 Advanced Placement and honors courses. 98% of Mountain View graduates continue their education at colleges of their choice.Visiting Sunnyvale for events
Locals can find annual events in nearby Sunnyvale, which is about 2 miles east of Cuernavaca. Each May, there is a Hands on the Arts Festival, where children can learn different styles of art and their parents can enjoy live entertainment and food. There are also outdoor movie nights in August and holiday programs during the winter months as well.Transportation options for Cuernavaca residents
Locals can find Valley Transportation Authority bus stops along El Camino Real. To access the Caltrain, which makes regular trips to and from San Francisco throughout the day, there is a stop located 2.2 miles north of the Cuernavaca neighborhood. Commuters have access to several multi-lane highways, including state routes 85, 237 and 82. The nearest major airport is San José Mineta International Airport, which provides direct service to 40 international and domestic locations; the airport is just over a 10-mile drive for Cuernavaca residents.Easy trip to shopping and restaurants along El Camino Real
Cuernavaca provides instant access to a wide range of shopping options, many of which are located along El Camino Real. Locals can make their grocery runs at Safeway, which is just a few blocks from most neighborhood homes. They can also pick up some freshly made pastries at Sugar Butter Flour in the same shopping center. Those looking for specialty ingredients can find Nijiya Market and 99 Ranch Market within a 1-mile drive. For other household needs, the area has several big-box national chains like Marshalls, HomeGoods and Best Buy. Local restaurants include A Slice of New York, which specializes in authentic, New York-style thin-crust pies served out of its characteristic restaurant with NYC street signs and graffiti-tagged walls. On the north side of El Camino Real is Himalayan Kitchen, which dishes out Indian cuisine like samosas and tandoori chicken, along with an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet. Downtown Mountain View is about 2 miles west, and there are several boutiques and restaurant options.Santa Clara County environmental concerns
Santa Clara County has a very desirable climate but is also vulnerable to several environmental hazards, such as wildfires, earthquakes, heat waves and landslides. In order to better prepare citizens for these possible events, the county has an office of emergency management that provides educational materials and organizes drills. “One downside of the Cuernavaca neighborhood is the power lines that run through,” Ely says. “There has been some discussion as to whether or not they pose a health risk.”
