Mountain View is home to 70,708 residents and to many nationally and internationally known corporations. It is the fifth most populated town in the Bay Area behind Fremont. The town hosts a number of cultural fairs and activities on a regular basis such as a weekly farmers' market, a wine festival, and the Affribean Festival. The proximity to San Jose, "the valley" and a number of local and state parks and reserves make this seven square mile town an attractive place to call home.

The City of Mountain View has developed some of the finest recreation facilities the Bay Area has to offer. Its park system includes an regional park created from reclaimed landfill. Shoreline at Mountain View Park features an 18-hole golf course, a sailing lake and a wild life interpretive trail. The Civic Center has one of the finest theater facilities in Northern California as well as a 60,000 square foot state-of-the-art library.
