It is the heart of Silicon Valley and the biotech area now. You would not recognize the face of Mountain View now. There restaurants specializing in cuisine from India and Korea all over the place there, connect the dots.
Decent house in a good neighborhood runs about 950 - to a million five nowadays.
It is pretty prosperous, considered relatively liberal, somewhat ethnically diverse, and fairly well educated residents overall, totally unaffected by the recession, and Obama mined it very successfully for millions of campaign re election dollars.
South of Mountain View, the next town is Sunnyvale, where my barn find 1968 Cougar with 39k original miles was originally sold new, at Paps L/M was discovered, and the town below that was Santa Clara where ex wifey lives, and where I saw drove and bought the car.
