About Rex Manor, Mountain View

Rex Manor is a residential neighborhood in north-central Mountain View, generally bounded by Central Expressway to the south and Middlefield Road to the north, between Burgoyne Street and the Farley Street area. It was developed mostly in the postwar decades, when ranch homes replaced orchards across the Santa Clara Valley. Many streets are designed so they do not carry through traffic, and traffic circles help keep speeds low. Rex Manor real estate offers a classic mid-century neighborhood setting minutes from downtown Mountain View.

Cost of Living & Housing in Rex Manor

Rex Manor homes for sale are generally positioned in the middle to upper range of the Mountain View market, depending on size and condition.
