Eichlers, though not widely popular 50 years ago, are quickly gaining in desirability. Their clean mid-century design defines “California Modern.” Sun-filled atriums, skylights, open floor plans and ceiling to floor windows create a unique indoor environment in an Eichler home that invites the outdoors in. Many Eichler owners are very enthusiastic about their homes and belong to Eichler appreciation groups.
Residents tout Monta Loma as one of Mountain View, California’s most independently organized neighborhoods, with many neighbors regularly attending city meetings. The Monta Loma Neighborhood Association also helps residents get involved in the community.

The association also organizes a babysitting co-op, two annual social events in March and August and a Community Emergency Response Team.
