Mountain View, California

North
Bayshore

Google's global headquarters, Shoreline Lake's sailboats and the Baylands' open trails — the bay-side district being remade into Mountain View's most future-forward neighborhood.

The neighborhood

North Bayshore homes for sale beside the Bay and the Googleplex.

North Bayshore sits north of US-101 on Mountain View's shoreline — home to the Googleplex, Microsoft, Intuit and LinkedIn campuses, Shoreline Lake and the Shoreline Amphitheatre. Today it is mostly offices, open space and recreation, but the North Bayshore Precise Plan calls for up to 9,854 new homes across three new neighborhoods: Joaquin, Shorebird and Pear.

Buyers are drawn to North Bayshore's unmatched job access and waterfront recreation; future phases will add mid-rise residences, village retail and new streets beside the tech campuses. Sellers near the shoreline market to relocating professionals who want the shortest commute in Silicon Valley.

Buyer guidance

Buying a home in North Bayshore?

Buying in North Bayshore today means planning around future phases: new mid-rise residences in Joaquin, Shorebird and Pear will arrive over several years. Early buyers should weigh HOA structures, campus-adjacent pricing and the staged buildout of village retail.

Seller guidance

Selling your North Bayshore home?

Selling near the shoreline? Buyers pay for the shortest commute in Silicon Valley and immediate access to Shoreline Lake and the Baylands. Positioning a home or investment property against the campus adjacency and future development premium matters.

I'll price against recent sales in the north corridor and market to relocating professionals. Call (650) 274-1134 or email SIMON@SPSILICONVALLEY.COM for a shoreline market analysis.
