The neighborhood

Saint Francis Acres homes for sale in a quiet westside setting.

Saint Francis Acres is a small, established neighborhood on Mountain View’s west side, west of El Camino Real and near the Los Altos border. Bounded by El Monte Avenue, Mountain View Avenue and Vista Grande Avenue, its 1950s ranch homes sit on roughly 5,000–5,700 sq ft lots beneath a mature canopy of trees.

Buyers prize the neighborhood’s quiet streets, cul-de-sacs and grant-funded block parties — a Halloween parade and a Memorial Day celebration are traditions here. For sellers, Los Altos School District placement and the in-demand westside location are the differentiators.
