Old Mountain View

Old Mountain View is the historic core of the city, centered around Castro Street, the lively main street that has become one of Silicon Valley’s most popular dining and entertainment destinations. For buyers who value walkability, community energy, and an urban village feel, Old Mountain View delivers a lifestyle that very few Bay Area neighborhoods can match.

The housing stock is eclectic. Craftsman bungalows from the early 1900s sit alongside mid-century ranch homes, Victorian-era cottages, and modern infill projects. Lot sizes tend to be modest, typically 5,000 to 8,000 square feet, but the trade-off is location.

Google’s Googleplex campus is within biking distance, keeping housing demand strong and steady. The neighborhood also benefits from excellent Caltrain transit connections.

Pricing ranges from $2 million for smaller original-condition homes to $4.5 million for renovated or new-construction properties. The premium for proximity to Castro Street is real and measurable.
