Mountain View Housing Market & Neighborhood Guide

Single-family homes have generally sold in the $2.1M–$2.5M range in 2025–2026, while condos and townhomes typically trade between roughly $1.0M and $1.5M. Old Mountain View and Cuesta Park trend above the citywide figure; homes closer to the North Bayshore and El Camino corridors trend below it.

Mountain View Whisman School District serves K–8, and Mountain View–Los Altos Union High School District serves grades 9–12 through Mountain View High and Los Altos High. Which high school your address feeds is not obvious from the city name — verify with MVLA before pricing or buying.
