Stierlin_House 2Anyone taking their first drive through Stierlin Estates Mountain View will often take it slow, not just for the quaint neighborhood view, but because they have no choice. The sleepy neighborhood of Stierlin Estates was designed with a zig-zag road pattern, which helps keep drivers with a heavy foot in check. Ask the residents about their quiet little corner of Mountain View and they’ll tell you they like it that way.  Beyond creating a traffic calming road network, you can’t actually drive “through” the area. The roads loop around with no direct access from one highway to another. This all but eliminates commuters driving through the neighborhood.

This fundamental neighborhood design has made the Stierlin Estates real estate market more desirable over the last few years. It’s not just a little quieter because of the traffic calming, but there’s also a line of commercial buildings buffering the neighborhood from the noisy highways.  While Mountain View continues to grow, more people are looking for refuge in quaint corners of the city. Stierlin Estates is perfect for people who want to escape the hustle of the city without getting too far away.  Located minutes from Google World-Wide headquarters, Silicon Valley and a short freeway drive to downtown San Jose and San Francisco, this neighborhood is a great place to look for a primary residence or an investment property.

Although Stierlin Estates was nothing more than a patch of farmland 50 years ago, time has been good to this area. Magnolia trees planted decades ago are now showing their full potential, adding quite a bit of character.  Newer developments sometimes lack the charm of the classic American street. As Mountain View expands, this can be more difficult to find, except for some of the more exclusive areas.
