Real estate in Mountain view

Located in Santa Clara County, the picturesque city of Mountain View is bound by Palo Alto in the northwest, Los Altos in the southwest, Sunnyvale in the southeast, and the San Francisco Bay in the northeast. The city is named for the scenic views of the Santa Cruz Mountains that it offers to tourists, and was formed from the northern portion, split from the former rancho of Don Mariano Castro, who lends his name to the infamous Castro Street.

The city of Mountain View has also proven itself as a great school district, and since 2006, it had 12 public schools and 8 private schools. The city has come up with innovative plans and schemes to reduce the rate of dropouts from school, free or subsidized lunches for students under the Mountain View - Whisman school district who qualify for it. As an integral part of the Silicon Valley, Mountain View is the headquarters for a number of notable Silicon Valley companies including Google, Intuit, LinkedIn and Actel Corporation.
