North Whisman, an “old fashioned neighborhood” in the heart of Silicon Valley

The neighborhood of North Whisman features a view of the Mountains, an open feel, a tight-knit community, and is also often described by residents as “an old-fashioned neighborhood where you know everybody”.

For some of these residents, the commute to work is a nice short walk or bike ride, with companies like Google, Linkedin or Symantec being right around the corner.

The neighborhood is a blend of older single family homes, townhomes and newer homes. Castro Street and the Moutain View Caltrain station are close-by, and for the outdoor enthusiasts, a paved trail on Whisman road takes active residents to the Stevens Creek Trail.
