Cuesta Park
Neighborhood in Mountain View, California
Santa Clara County 94040
California Ranchers under the shade of orange trees
One stroll down Cuesta Park’s tree-lined streets and it is easy to see why the neighborhood is so desirable. “There is a very competitive market,” Orion says. Mountain View is recognized as a Tree City USA Community by the National Arbor Day Foundation, and classic California Ranchers sit under the shade of towering oaks. Orange trees are a common sight amongst the well-manicured landscaped lawns, complete with local shrubbery and colorful flowers. Ranchers may be the predominant style, but mid-century moderns and Spanish Revivals with stucco exteriors can still be found throughout. Contemporary townhouses range between $2 million and $3 million. Single-family houses price from $2.5 million to $4.5 million.Head to the Cuesta Park
Located in the center of the neighborhood, Cuesta Park is a tranquil public green space from which the neighborhood gets its name. Residents can lace up their hiking shoes to enjoy the winding shaded trails, while sports enthusiasts will feel right at home on the park's tennis courts and soccer fields. K-9 companions can also get in the action at the adjacent off-leash dog park. Recreation opportunities surround Cuesta Park as the neighborhood is sandwiched between the San Francisco Bay to the north and the Santa Clara Mountains to the south.Award-winning public schools
Schools are a large draw as the highly rated Mountain View Whisman School District serves the neighborhood's younger residents. Education begins at Benjamin Bubb Elementary School and Isaac Newton Graham Middle School, both of which received an A rating from Niche. Older students may continue on to Mountain View High School and enroll in any of the 35 honors and Advanced Placement (AP) courses. The school received an A-plus rating from Niche and was ranked the 27th-best public high school in the state of California. Parents looking for a private school option may consider Saint Francis High School, which received an A-plus rating from Niche.Cuesta Park Neighborhood Association
Summers are filled with the sound of live music as the Cuesta Park Neighborhood Association sponsors a Concert in the Park series from May to August. Admission is free to the public, and donations are encouraged to support the concert’s local artists. For a year-round event, residents head to the nearby Mountain View Farmers Market to peruse the fresh California produce and artisanal goods.Easy access to urban centers
While one may never want to leave Cuesta Park, the neighborhood’s convenient location allows for an easy commute to nearby urban centers. “You’re really close to downtown Mountain View,” says Orion. “You can hop on the freeway to get to San Francisco or San Jose.” Highway 85 runs just east of the neighborhood and can be used to reach downtown San Jose or San Jose Mineta International Airport, 15 miles away. Cupertino is about 7 miles south.Extensive shopping and dining on Castro Street
Immediate shopping can be found at the Grant Park Plaza, where 99 Ranch Market and Nob Hill Foods supply residents with weekly groceries. However, Castro Street in downtown Mountain View is the place to go. The street has locally owned shops, boutiques, restaurants, and breweries. Wine lovers can head to Savvy Cellar Wine Bar for a glass of white or red. Cascal is a pan-Latin restaurant that has become a neighborhood favorite, while nearby Ludwigs Biergarten serves up classic German cuisine in an outdoor setting. Michelin has a guide of award-winning restaurants in the Mountain View area, and many are less than 10 miles away.Residents can access award-winning health care at the El Camino Health Mountain View Hospital, which sits directly south of the neighborhood. The Hospital is a significant employer in the area and has been recognized by numerous medical organizations, including the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation, for its distinguished standard of care.
