Neighborhood character
The Housing Element describes a mix of stable single-family and multiple-family housing, anchored by Mountain View Park and the elementary school and bordered by the San Gabriel River, which it calls a tributary of the Emerald Necklace. It says the neighborhood has one of the most diverse types and ranges of prices of single-family, multiple-family, mobile homes, and other housing.
The Element also reports significant reinvestment. It says revitalization of the Garvey and Durfee corridors will improve the appearance of the street and provide needed quality housing, and the Durfee Corridor is planned as the major residential corridor spanning the neighborhood, lined with trees, parkways, and ample sidewalks. The Community Design Element adds a rural ambience and an equestrian and agricultural heritage.

Neighborhood FAQ
- What should a homeowner know before selling in Mountain View?
- Pin down which product type the home is (single-family, multiple-family, or mobile home) because each sells against its own comparables, then check whether new corridor housing is in the comparable set. A property-specific review is advisory and is not an appraisal.
