The neighborhood

The Cuesta Park neighborhood takes its name and its character from Cuesta Park itself — the beloved city park at 615 Cuesta Drive with its redwood grove, playgrounds, tennis courts and off-leash dog area. Streets around it are lined with California ranch homes under mature trees.

It’s a quintessential residential pocket: quiet, established and genuinely close to everything — downtown Mountain View, the Blossom Valley Shopping Center and the foothill trails all sit within minutes.
