West Cupertino's historic Monta Vista — foothill streets, the Stevens Creek corridor and one of Silicon Valley's most famous high schools.

The neighborhood

Explore Monte Vista with Simon Sahi.

Monta Vista — historically spelled Monte Vista — is west Cupertino's signature neighborhood, running from the valley floor up toward the Stevens Creek corridor. The Stevens Creek Corridor's McClellan Ranch Preserve, Blackberry Farm and Stocklmeir orchard give the area a heritage-ranch character found nowhere else in the city.

Homes range from original ranch properties to substantial remodeled and new residences, many with foothill or canyon views. Buyers choose Monta Vista for the schools, the setting and the larger lots; sellers command some of Cupertino's strongest prices.
