Valley

A foothills pocket of 1950s–60s ranch homes between Miramonte Avenue and the Los Altos border — Los Altos schools, block-party streets and Cuesta Park around the corner.

The neighborhood

Blossom Valley homes for sale in a true foothill neighborhood.

Blossom Valley sits in south Mountain View, just north of the Los Altos border, where long blocks of ranch homes built in the 1950s and 60s draw families who want top-rated schools and a genuine neighborhood feel.
