The neighborhood

Sylvandale is Mountain View’s easternmost neighborhood, anchored by Sylvan Park at 600 Sylvan Avenue — the green the area is known by, and the source of the name (also rendered “Sylvan Dale”). Redwood and magnolia-lined streets run past mid-1970s homes of around 3,000 square feet on lots near 10,000 square feet.

Buyers choose Sylvandale for space: some of Mountain View’s largest residential lots, residents of all age groups, and quick access to Highway 101. For sellers, the large homes, mature trees and Sylvan Park setting are the differentiators.
