SCHOOLS

Schools

Info

Mountain View's young minds are nurtured in a variety of top-rated elementary schools. The Mountain View Whisman School District (MVWSD) offers excellent options across the city. Whether you prioritize strong academics, a nurturing environment, or a specific program, there's a school here to meet your needs. This project will explore each school's strengths, showcasing facilities, parent reviews, and unique offerings. We'll unpack the ins and outs of the enrollment process, making your journey towards finding the perfect elementary school for your child a breeze.

Roads

Mountain View's major roadways cater to both local commutes and connections to the greater Bay Area. U.S. Highway 101 runs north-south through the western part of the city, offering a direct route to San Jose and beyond. East-west traffic is facilitated by El Camino Real, which traverses the heart of Mountain View and provides access to neighboring towns like Los Altos. Additionally, major thoroughfares like Central Expressway and Stevens Creek Boulevard connect various neighborhoods within the city, making it easy to navigate different areas.

Downtown Parking

Downtown Mountain View offers a mix of parking options, though availability can vary depending on the day and time. Public parking garages, like the Mountain View Civic Center Garage and the one on 850 California St., provide convenient and secure parking for a fee. Metered street parking is also available throughout downtown, but be sure to pay close attention to time limits. For longer stays or a more budget-friendly option, consider exploring public parking lots on the outskirts of downtown or trying your luck with street parking a few blocks away from the core area

Stevens Creek

Nestled amidst the bustling tech centers of Mountain View, the Stevens Creek Trail offers a scenic escape. This paved pathway winds alongside Stevens Creek, providing a car-free route for walking, running, or cycling. Whether you're looking for a quick lunchtime jog or a leisurely weekend stroll, the trail caters to a variety of paces. The trail is divided into two segments, with the northern portion offering glimpses of the tech world's headquarters and eventually connecting to the San Francisco Bay Trail. The southern part winds through serene neighborhoods and parks, perfect for a nature fix.
