High-tech neighborhood in Mountain View
Located at the heart of Silicon Valley is Whisman, a tech-centric urban neighborhood home to a Google facility complex, a Samsung corporate campus, and office buildings housing software companies such as Atlassian and Coursera. “The area used to be mostly farmland until they started constructing lots of buildings there in the 1960s during the rise of Silicon Valley,” says local Realtor Kathryn Tomaino with Coldwell Banker, who grew up in the Santa Clara area. Tomaino adds that Whisman is “right next to Moffett Field, an airstrip where the president used to fly into.” Additional tech company complexes are situated on either side of the airfield, including the Meta Sunnyvale Campus and the Microsoft Silicon Valley Campus. Most of the residential properties here are condos and apartments, but a handful of single-family homes still pepper the area. With downtown Mountain View located just a few blocks away, Whisman offers a convenient lifestyle for those seeking proximity to offices, urban amenities and public transit.

Catch a light rail tram at Whisman Station
This neighborhood is home to two light rail stations: Middlefield and Whisman. At both stations, residents can catch a car on the Orange Line, which has stops in downtown Mountain View and Moffett Park. Tomaino adds that locals can find additional public transit options in the downtown area: “People love going to the Mountain View train station and taking the train up to San Francisco; train lines at that station also travel down to Santa Clara and San Jose.” The Mountain View Community Shuttle is a fare-free public transit option that operates on a fixed route with stops in Whisman. For frequent fliers, the San Jose-Mineta International Airport is a 10-mile drive away. In some areas, residents ride their bikes or even walk to their place of work: “It’s a pretty bike-friendly and walkable area, although certain parts are better than others,” Tomaino says. “There’s been a movement lately to get Silicon Valley to cater more towards cyclists.”

Condos and townhouses in private residential complexes
“It’s mostly condos in Whisman, but there are still some apartment complexes and single-family homes,” Tomaino says. Condo units, townhouses and single-family homes here are often situated in residential communities with private amenities and housing association fees. Properties reflect a mix of traditional and contemporary architecture alongside Spanish-influenced finishings. Although most residential and commercial buildings here are low-rise, Tomaino says that vertical construction has become more popular as space dwindles in the neighborhood. The median price of a property in Whisman is just over $1.5 million, but prices can range from as low as $800,000 to as high as $2.5 million.

Hike the 5-mile-long Stevens Creek Trail
Although Whisman has seen substantial commercial and residential development since the rise of Silicon Valley, the neighborhood is still dotted with several local parks, a creek and a popular nature trail. According to Tomaino, many of these green spaces are protected from property development because of Hetch Hetchy, the reservoir and water system that originates from Yosemite but runs underground through the Bay Area. Stevens Creek Trail is a 5-mile cyclist and pedestrian path lining the eponymous stream that trickles through the neighborhood. Residents can also head to Creekside Park for a midday picnic and a fully equipped playground area for children. Just up the road is Whisman Park, where sports enthusiasts can play a game of tennis or volleyball, and pet owners can bring their four-legged friends to a dog park. The Sunnyvale Municipal Golf Course also partly resides within the neighborhood and features an 18-hole course.
