The neighborhood

Stierlin Estates homes for sale in a classic 1963 ranch tract.

Stierlin Estates is a 178-home ranch tract built in 1963 on a former orchard, bounded by Terra Bella Avenue, North Shoreline Boulevard, West Middlefield Road, Moffett Boulevard and Highway 85. Original buyers often purchased through the GI Bill for $19,450 — and the one-story, double-garage ranch character remains the neighborhood’s signature.

Buyers choose Stierlin Estates for its central location: close to Google, Intuit and Microsoft, the Mountain View Caltrain station, and highways 85 and 101. For sellers, the intact mid-century ranch character and commuter convenience are the differentiators.

A sense of place

Mid-century ranches, intact.

Stierlin Estates keeps the feel of the tract it was built as — consistent one-story ranch homes on quiet streets like Stierlin Road, Waverly Street, Hedgerow Court and San Rafael Avenue. Some neighbors call it “Sterling” Estates; the HOA founded in 1986 is now inactive, and the streets stay peaceful.
