About Waverly Park, Mountain View

Waverly Park is a single-family neighborhood in the southern part of Mountain View, generally located between Grant Road and Highway 85 near the Los Altos and Sunnyvale borders. Like much of the Santa Clara Valley, the area was once covered in apricot and prune orchards. Homes were built in phases from the 1960s through the 1980s, giving the neighborhood a more recent look than many of the city's postwar tracts. Waverly Park real estate is known for its larger homes and lots by Mountain View standards.

Moving to Waverly Park

Moving to Waverly Park means settling into one of Mountain View's more spacious single-family neighborhoods, with curving streets and mature trees. Cooper Park and nearby trail access give the area plenty of green space close to home. The neighborhood sits away from the busier corridors of central Mountain View while staying near Highway 85 and Grant Road. For buyers relocating to Silicon Valley, it is often on the list alongside neighborhoods in Los Altos and Sunnyvale.

Cost of Living & Housing in Waverly Park

Waverly Park homes for sale are generally positioned in the upper tier of the Mountain View single-family market, reflecting larger homes and lots. Many houses are two-story designs from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, with plenty of homes in the 3,000 square foot range. Lots are larger than in many other Mountain View neighborhoods, leaving room for yards and additions. Newer construction, including a small enclave of homes near the neighborhood entrance, adds to the mix.

Getting Around Waverly Park

Highway 85 runs along the neighborhood's edge, connecting to Interstate 280, Highway 101 and Highway 237. Grant Road leads north to El Camino Real and south toward Foothill Expressway and Cupertino.

Local streets and nearby segments of the Stevens Creek Trail offer comfortable bike routes for shorter trips across town and into neighboring Sunnyvale.
