Rex Manor Neighborhood —Affordable homes in a peaceful environment in one of Mountain View, California’s earliest developments
Rex Manor retains much of its original charm from the 1950s. The neighborhood was originally called Meadow Glenn, back when homes were first developed and sold for under $8,000. Times, prices and houses have changed, but Rex Manor remains a desirable, peaceful and family-oriented community.
