Castro City, a quiet enclave close to downtown

Across the street from Rengstorff park in Moutain View, the six-block enclave that is Castro City has gone from rough in the 80’s to quiet and conveniently located today. What was once made of open fields has been transformed by remodeled homes, and now the neighborhood is a blend of old cottage homes and newly built two-story houses.

Residents also love the cosmopolitan feel of Castro City, and enjoy easy access to Dowtown Mountain View and Los Altos.
