Cuernavaca's coveted location near technology jobs
With a convenient location for many of the Bay Area’s technology jobs, the Cuernavaca neighborhood is highly coveted. The community has a mix of single-family and multi-family housing; many of the single-family residences lie within the Cuernavaca Homeowner Association. Tall magnolias, palms and evergreens line the sidewalks of Cuernavaca, giving it an established feel. Locals have nearby access to restaurants and shopping, as well as nearby public transportation. In addition, the schools are highly rated and offer opportunities for students who wish to take more challenging courses. There are a few nearby parks and, of course, plenty of other recreation within the greater Bay Area.
Parks dot the landscape of Cuernavaca and provide green space for residence.

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."

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.”
Power lines in Cuernavaca are commonly seen, an infrastructure necessity.
