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.

Local restaurants surround Monta Loma

Locals can explore the many dining options around Monta Loma. “There are so many local restaurants, it’s unfair to name one,” Gildea says. The Monta Loma Plaza is home to Sushi Jin, which restaurant features omakase dining, where the chef plans the entire meal. Dumpling Garden serves at least 16 types of dumplings, and Rincon Sabroso specializes in Salvadoran food. At the locally owned The Midwife and The Baker, customers can order an array of pastries and breads. Downtown Mountain View, about 2 miles away, also features several eateries, including Crepevine Restaurant, which offers outdoor seating.

This larger Safeway is about 2 miles away in the Bailey Park Plaza. Walmart, Target and Trader Joe’s are also about 2 miles outside Monta Loma, in the San Antonio Shopping Center. Lowe’s is approximately 6 miles away.
