Mountain View, CA apartments for rent

Life is good in Mountain View. To the west are views the Santa Cruz Mountains, where locals escape for hiking, camping, horseback riding, mountain biking, and rock climbing. Beyond that, Mountain View residents enjoy the sand and surf in Santa Cruz and Half Moon Bay. San Francisco is a quick zip on the Caltrain. And locally, parks, trails, eateries, art and entertainment create a strong sense of community, making Mountain View a great place to set roots.

However, the best thing about living in Mountain View is the opportunity. With big-time tech-world employers like Google, Intuit and Microsoft, countless startups, superb education and a culture that promotes entrepreneurship, the lucky locals of Mountain View live in a high-income incubator.

Mountain View has city-wide wifi, which means techies can work anywhere at any time - and they do. Though many folks may be working on some groundbreaking new internet startup, the downtown Mountain View backdrop is more reminiscent of its early days as a stagecoach town. Tree-lined streets, lushly-planted sidewalks, small cafes, the old Stagecoach stop, along with one of the oldest brewpubs in the Bay Area (Tied House) are some of the treasures that make Mountain View feel quaint and nostalgic. Although more than half the population is under the age of 30, folks here can’t help but feel like they are reminded of a simpler time.
