Monta Loma residents can call on each other

Residents of Monta Loma have formed a close community inside the city of Mountain View. “I like living here because it’s so neighborly,” says Marilyn Gildea, who has lived there for 22 years. She attributes this neighborly feeling partially to how people can call on each other for help. “I told some neighbors I needed a new tray for my microwave, and 20 minutes later, my doorbell rang.” There are several stores and restaurants, as well as a church and mosque. Several synagogues are nearby in Palo Alto. Students can attend Mountain View Whisman School District, which receives an A from Niche.
