Quiet residential living in Silicon Valley

With the blue waters of the San Francisco Bay to the north and the rising peaks of the Santa Clara Mountains to the south, Cuesta Park sits in the heart of one of the most desirable cities in the Bay Area. The residential community lies in the southern half of Mountain View and is a neighborhood that feels complete. “Cuesta Park has got great schools, friendly neighborhoods, and an off-leash dog park,” says Lori Orion, Realtor at Sotheby’s International Realty. Along with award-winning public schools, residents are close to other Bay Area amenities and bustling urban centers.

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.

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.
