Shoreline West: You Can’t Get Much Closer to Downtown!

If you wish to live or invest in real estate near downtown Mountain View, but not exactly in downtown, look no further. Until 1994, Shoreline West was considered to be part of downtown Mountain View. Residents banded together and won approval to form a stand-alone community with its own identity. The resulting Shoreline West enclave is known for its unbeatable location, welcoming and friendly residents, block parties, potlucks and annual special events that foster a sense of community.

Location, Location, Location

Perfectly situated less than 15 miles northwest of San Jose, 40 miles south of San Francisco and steps from downtown Mountain View, Shoreline West is attractive to families and young adults alike. Why? Its proximity to a large number of tech companies (Facebook, Google, and Apple, to name a few), diverse & educated residents,, sense of community and abundance of dining and entertainment options create an attractive atmosphere and culture. Hungry residents often head to Shoreline Blvd. where the aromas of ethnic cuisine waft from cozy eateries. Mexican, Greek, Indian, Japanese, Italian … whatever you’re craving, you’ll find it here! Nearby Castro Street is ground zero when you’re in the mood for clubs and pubs. The location of the Shoreline West neighborhood also makes it easy for employees to commute to work, without spending hours in traffic.

One Perk? Pretty Parks!

  Wherever you live in Shoreline West, you will be within close proximity of a park. Rengstorff Park has a community pool and indoor fitness center. Stevenson Park has a playground and sports fields. Shoreline Park, Mountain View’s largest park, is situated on the bay and has a serene lake that’s the ideal place to kayak, paddle board or pedal boat. There’s also a specific kite-flying area, dog park and jogging trails. Within the Shoreline West community, it’s part of the culture to become active, whether that’s taking the dog for a walk or going for a long run.

Life in Shoreline West Is Pleasant, Peaceful

While Shoreline West is minutes away from the hustle and bustle of downtown, on the residential streets like Palo Alto Avenue, life is quiet, punctuated most often by children’s laughter and friendly dog greetings. The homes here tend to be smaller at less than 2,000 square feet, well-kept and tidy. This is a “front-porch” type of community, where residents get to know their neighbors, and take time to stop and say hello. Many residents are active in the neighborhood association, the Shoreline West Association of Neighbors. One of the biggest draws for many residents is the neighborhood is diverse. There’s an eclectic mix of singles, families and empty-nesters of varying ethnicities, creating a market that is both ripe for sellers and buyers. Any Mountain View real estate agent will tell you if you find a house for sale here that is priced well, don’t wait too long to make an offer. People want to live here!
